Calaroga Shark Media. This is your daily space report from

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.359
Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:18.399
happening above us today. Here's the space weather. Sunspot activity

4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.600
continues to increase as we move deeper into Solar cycle

5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.359
twenty five. Several active regions on the Sun are showing

6
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.280
high magnetic complexity, which raises the chance of sea class

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.679
flares over the next twenty four hours. Because of this,

8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.759
there is a moderate chance of auroras, especially across higher latitudes.

9
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.880
If you're in the northern US or Canada, check the

10
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.880
northern horizon after dark. You might catch some faint green glow.

11
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.240
For those who watch the skies. A handbit Nano is

12
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.960
set to lift off later today from Alcantra Space Center.

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.479
Federative Republic of Brazil. INNO Space will use this mission

14
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.000
to deploy satellites into orbit, and the mission will proceed

15
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.040
to orbit. The Moon is a slim crescent in the

16
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.799
western sky after sunset, setting early and leaving dark skies

17
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.239
for the rest of the night. Step outside after dinner

18
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:19.079
and look southeast. Jupiter blazes bright, impossible to miss. Over

19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.599
to the southwest, Saturn offers a softer golden glow If

20
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.719
you have binoculars, point them at Jupiter to spot its

21
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.680
four largest moons. That's today's space report. As you rest tonight,

22
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.640
remember that Earth moves quietly through space, wrapped in its

23
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.560
protective magnetic field, while rockets launch and distant world's wait

24
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.879
to be explored. Sleep well.
