Calaroga Shark Media. You're listening to sleep from space. Here
2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.560
is your quiet space report, A short, gentle update on
3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:19.199
the Sun, the Auroras, and the sky above. The mighty
4
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.920
hunter Orion returns to the evening sky. Find his belt
5
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.079
three stars in a perfect line, and look for the
6
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.600
fuzzy patch below the belt. That's the Orion nebula, a
7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.600
stellar nursery past three hundred light years away. Jupiter dominates
8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.799
the evening sky in the southeast after sunset, shining brilliantly
9
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.640
as the brightest object besides the Moon. Saturn glows steadily
10
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.079
to the southwest, a yellowish point of light that sets
11
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.960
a few hours after dark. Both are perfect for telescope viewing.
12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.159
This week, let's look at solar activity. Sunspot activity continues
13
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.560
to increase as we move deeper into soul Ull cycle
14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.200
twenty five. Several active regions on the Sun are showing
15
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.159
high magnetic complexity, which raises the chance of C class
16
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.040
flares over the next twenty four hours for aurora watchers.
17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:16.200
Tonight looks promising. There's a heightened chance the Northern lights
18
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.159
could be visible across Canada and the northern tier of
19
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.439
States face north away from city lights. And give your
20
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.480
eyes time to adjust. A launch is coming up soon.
21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.879
Russian Federal Space Agency ross Cosmos plans to launch a
22
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:36.719
Soyu's two point one a later today from Plasetsk Cosmodrome,
23
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:42.439
Russian Federation, carrying satellites into orbit. After liftoff, the mission
24
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.239
will proceed to orbit. That's today's space report. As you
25
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.599
rest tonight, remember that Earth moves quietly through space, wrapped
26
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.840
in its protective magnetic field, while rockets launch and distant
27
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.959
worlds wait to be explored. Sleep well,
