0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. This is your daily space report from Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's happening above us today. In Asteroid News twenty twenty one, Ay one about the size of a house will pass Earth in the next couple of days at a safe distance of ten point two times the distance to the Moon. It's perfectly safe. Just a close cosmic encounter that reminds us we're not alone out here. Starting with the Sun, solar activity is picking up. Active regions on the Sun's surface are growing more complex, increasing the odds of C class flares. Astronomers are watching these areas closely. Because of this, there is a moderate chance of auroras, especially across higher latitudes.
0:54 If you're in the northern US or Canada, check the northern horizon after dark. You might catch some faint green glow. Right now, there are twelve people living and working aboard the International Space Station, including Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. The station continues its quiet orbit, circling Earth every ninety minutes. Two hundred and fifty miles above us. The Mighty Hunter Orion returns to the evening sky. Find his belt three stars in a perfect line, and look for the fuzzy patch below the belt. That's the Orion nebula, a stellar nursery when three hundred light years away. That's today's space report. As you rest tonight, remember that Earth moves quietly through space, wrapped in its protective magnetic field, while rockets launch and distant worlds wait to be explored.
