Calaroga Shark Media. You're listening to sleep from space. Here
2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.800
is your quiet space report. A short, gentle update on
3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:20.399
the Sun, the auroras, and the sky above the Moon
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.160
is at first quarter, half lit and setting around midnight,
5
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.519
perfect for evening observing, bright enough to see detail, dark
6
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.000
enough later for deep sky objects. In Asteroid News twenty

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.840
twenty five, why why about the size of a house
8
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.880
will pass Earth today at a safe distance of two
9
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.719
point six times the distance to the Moon. Completely harmless,
10
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.240
but these flybys keep astronomers busy tracking our cosmic neighbors.
11
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.039
In Rocket News, Innospace is preparing for a handbit nano
12
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.640
launch later today from Alcantra Space Center, Fetterative, Republic of Brazil.
13
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.079
The mission will deploy satellites into orbit, and if conditions allow,
14
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.439
the mission will proceed to orbit. The Mighty hunter Orion
15
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.000
returns to the evening sky. Find his belt three stars
16
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.280
in a perfect line, and look for the fuzzy patch
17
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.959
below the belt. That's the Orion nebula, a stellar nursery
18
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.840
fy now a three hundred light years away. That's the
19
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.400
update for today. The Sun, the planets, and our spacecraft
20
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.040
continue their slow, steady motion above you let that thought
21
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.560
carry you gently toward sleep.
