00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.120
the Sun, the Auroras, and the sky above. In rocket News,

Indian Space Research Organization plans to launch a LVM three
5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:29.320
GSLVMK three tomorrow from Satish Dewan Space Center, India, carrying
6
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.039
satellites into orbit. After liftoff, the mission will proceed to orbit.

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.640
Checking in on the Sun. The Sun is getting more
8
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.759
active right now. There are multiple sunspot groups visible with
9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.520
high magnetic complexity. This means we could see C class
10
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.039
flares in the next day or so. For aurora watchers,
11
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.600
tonight looks promising. There's a heightened chance the Northern lights
12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.439
could be visible across Canada and the northern tier of States.
13
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.200
Face north away from city lights and give your eyes
14
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.959
time to adjust. The evening sky features two gas giants.
15
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.120
Jupiter rises in the east after sunset. You can't miss
16
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.040
its brilliant white glow. Saturn is dimmer but unmistakable in
17
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:20.200
the southwest setting a few hours after dark. Orion is
18
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.400
rising in the east tonight. Trace an imaginary line through
19
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.200
its belt stars downward to find Sirius, the dog star.
20
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.920
So bright it often twinkles with colors. The whole constellation
21
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.599
will be high overhead by midnight. That's all for today's
22
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.640
space report. Above you, the sky stays busy while your
23
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.000
world grows quiet. Sleep well, and we'll be back again
