Welcome to Sleep from Space. This is your daily space report.
3
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.079
Close your eyes if you'd like, and let's drift through
4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.640
today's space, weather and sky events. Let's look at solar activity.
5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.239
The Sun's current cycle is ramping up and we're seeing
6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:29.000
more sunspots than usual. These active zones have high magnetic complexity,
7
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.200
making C class flares more likely in the coming hours.
8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.799
Because of this, there is a moderate chance of auroras,
9
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.159
especially across higher latitudes. If you're in the northern US
10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.560
or Canada, check the northern horizon after dark. You might
11
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.600
catch some faint green glow. In Rocket news along March
12
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.880
seven to A is set to lift off tomorrow from
13
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.000
Wenchang Space Launch Site. People's Republic of China China Aerospace
14
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.960
Science and Technology Corporation will use this mission to deploy
15
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:04.239
details TA and the mission will proceed to orbit. Astronomers
16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.359
are tracking an asteroid twenty twenty five y L four,
17
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.480
about the size of a house, will pass Earth in
18
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.680
the next couple of days at a safe distance of
19
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.840
three point eight times the distance to the Moon. It
20
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.079
poses no threat to Earth, but it's a reminder of
21
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.040
the dynamic neighborhood we live in, step outside after dinner
22
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.680
and look southeast. Jupiter blazes bright, impossible to miss. Over
23
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:32.200
to the southwest, Saturn offers a softer golden glow. If
24
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.480
you have binoculars, point them at Jupiter to spot its
25
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.599
four largest moons. That's today's space report. As you rest tonight,
26
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.640
remember that Earth moves quietly through space, wrapped in its
27
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:50.159
protective magnetic field, while rockets launch and distant worlds wait
28
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.599
to be explored. Sleep well,
