Calarogu Shark Media. This is your daily space report from
2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.560
Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's
3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:20.239
happening above us today. First, the space weather Sunspot activity
4
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.480
continues to increase as we move deeper into Solar cycle
5
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.719
twenty five. Several active regions on the Sun are showing
6
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.719
high magnetic complexity, which raises the chance of sea class
7
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.880
flares over the next twenty four hours. Because of this,
8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.320
there is a heightened chance of auroras, especially across higher latitudes.
9
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.439
If you're in the northern US or Canada, check the
10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.240
northern horizon after dark. You might catch some faint green glow.
11
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.159
And here's a look ahead at the sky. The Geminid
12
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.960
meteor shower peaks this month, often the year's strongest display,
13
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.679
with up to one hundred and twenty meteors per hour
14
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.280
possible under dark, clear skies. In tonight's sky, Jupiter dominates
15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.760
the evening sky in the southeast after sunset, shining brilliantly
16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.439
as the brightest object besides the Moon. Saturn glows steadily
17
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.319
to the southwest, a yellowish point of light that sets
18
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.040
a few hours after dark. Both are perfect for telescope viewing.
19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.560
This week that's the update for today. The Sun, the planets,
20
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.239
and our spacecraft continue their slow, steady motion above you.
21
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.480
Let that thought carry you gently towards sleep.
