Daily Space Report - December 11, 2025 - Rising Sunspots and Strong Aurora Potential
0:03 Calarogu Shark Media. This is your daily space report from Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's happening above us today. First, the space weather Sunspot activity continues to increase as we move deeper into Solar cycle twenty five. Several active regions on the Sun are showing high magnetic complexity, which raises the chance of sea class flares over the next twenty four hours. Because of this, there is a heightened chance of auroras, especially across higher latitudes. If you're in the northern US or Canada, check the northern horizon after dark. You might catch some faint green glow.
0:48 And here's a look ahead at the sky. The Geminid meteor shower peaks this month, often the year's strongest display, with up to one hundred and twenty meteors per hour possible under dark, clear skies. In tonight's sky, Jupiter dominates the evening sky in the southeast after sunset, shining brilliantly as the brightest object besides the Moon. Saturn glows steadily to the southwest, a yellowish point of light that sets a few hours after dark. Both are perfect for telescope viewing. This week that's the update for today. The Sun, the planets, and our spacecraft continue their slow, steady motion above you.
1:28 Let that thought carry you gently towards sleep.
