Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.800
happening above us today. In Asteroid News, twenty thousand fay

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.399
how twenty five y L four, about the size of

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.839
a house, will pass Earth in about three days at

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.760
a safe distance of three point eight times the distance

7
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.000
to the Moon. It's perfectly safe. Just a close cosmic

8
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.679
encounter that reminds us we're not alone out here. Look

9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.600
east after dark and find three stars in a neat

10
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.399
row Orion's famous belt. Above it, the red super giant

11
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.399
beetle gouse glows with a warm orange hue. This is

12
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.920
one of winter's most recognizable sights. Step outside after dinner

13
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:57.439
and look southeast. Jupiter blazes bright, impossible to miss. Over

14
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.000
to the southwest, Saturn offers a soft golden glow. If

15
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.000
you have binoculars, point them at Jupiter to spot its

16
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:09.719
four largest moons. In Rocket News, China Aerospace Science and

17
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.760
Technology Corporation is preparing for a long March four B

18
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:19.640
launch tomorrow from Juquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China.

19
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.200
The mission will deploy details TBD and if conditions allow,

20
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.280
the mission will proceed to orbit. That's the update for today.

21
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.280
The Sun, the planets, and our spacecraft continue their slow,

22
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.400
steady motion above you. Let that thought carry you gently

23
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:39.439
toward sleep.
