Calaruga Shark Media. You're listening to sleep from space. Here
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.919
is your quiet space report, A short, gentle update on
3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.640
the Sun, the auroras, and the sky above. A beautiful
4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.719
crescent moon hangs in the west this evening. Once it sets,
5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.640
the sky opens up for some great stargazing. The mighty
6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.760
hunter Orion returns to the evening sky. Find his belt
7
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.200
three stars in a perfect line, and look for the
8
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.320
fuzzy patch below the belt. That's the Orion nebula, a
9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.359
stellar nursery one three hundred light years away. For those
10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.679
who watch the skies. Blue Origin is preparing for a
11
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.399
new Shepherd launch later today from corn Ranch Van Horn, Texas.
12
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.880
The mission will deploy satellites into orbit, and if conditions allow,
13
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.799
the mission will proceed to orbit two planets steel the
14
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:04.719
show tonight. Jupiter, the king of planets, shines brilliantly in
15
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.040
the east. Saturn hangs lower in the southwest, its rings
16
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.680
visible even through a small telescope. Both set by late evening.
17
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.120
That's today's space report. As you rest tonight, remember that
18
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.879
Earth moves quietly through space, wrapped in its protective magnetic field,
19
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.879
while rockets launch and distant worlds wait to be explored
20
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:28.400
