Calaroga Shark Media. This is your daily space report from

Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's
3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.239
happening above us today. The evening sky features two gas giants.
4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.719
Jupiter rises in the east after sunset. You can't miss
5
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.920
its brilliant white glow. Saturn is dimmer but unmistakable in
6
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.159
the southwest, setting a few hours after dark. Checking in
7
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:38.000
on the Sun, solar activity is picking up. Active regions
8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.600
on the Sun's surface are growing more complex, increasing the
9
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.960
odds of Sea class flares. Astronomers are watching these areas closely.
10
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.600
The uptick in solar activity means auroras are more likely tonight,
11
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.000
especially up north. If you're in Alaska, Canada, or the
12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.079
northern US, look toward the northern horizon. It gets fully dark,
13
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.959
green and sometimes red. Curtains might dance overhead. Orion, the
14
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.760
Hunter is climbing in the eastern sky after sunset. Look
15
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.200
for three bright stars in a row. That's Orion's belt.
16
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.599
Follow the belt downward and you'll find Sirious, the brightest
17
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.079
star in the night sky, shining with a blue white
18
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.519
brilliance low on the horizon. In Rocket News, Asoya's two
19
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.239
point one to A is set to lift off later
20
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:35.760
today from Plasetsk Cosmodrome. Russian Federation Russian Federal Space Agency
21
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.120
ross Cosmos will use this mission to deploy satellites into
22
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.799
orbit and the mission will proceed to orbit. That's the
23
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.840
update for today. The Sun, the planets, and our spacecraft
24
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.400
continue their slow, steady motion above you. Let that thought
25
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.640
carry you gently towards sleep.
