Caloroga Shark Media. This is your daily space report from

00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.240
Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's
3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.879
happening above us today. A space rock is passing by
4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.039
Earth twenty towns in Watzmaidy. We're a twenty twenty five
5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.480
YU six, about the size of a house, will pass
6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.480
Earth in about five days at a safe distance of
7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.399
four point one times the distance to the Moon. It's
8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.479
perfectly safe. Just a close cosmic encounter that reminds us
9
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.399
we're not alone out here. The Moon is at last
10
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:42.119
quarter rising after midnight. Early evening skies are dark and
11
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:47.000
perfect for stargazing before the moon appears. Jupiter rules the
12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.880
early evening, shining bright and steady overhead. If you stay
13
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.079
up late, catch Mars rising in the east after midnight.
14
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.039
Its rusty color is unmistakable. Here's the space weather. Solar
15
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.600
activity is picking up. Active regions on the Sun's surface
16
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.519
are growing more complex, increasing the odds of sea class flares.
17
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.000
Astronomers are watching these areas closely. Because of this, there
18
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.959
is a moderate chance of auroras, especially across higher latitudes.
19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.959
If you're in the northern US or Canada, check the
20
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.480
northern horizon after dark. You might catch some faint green glow.
21
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.640
That's the update for today. The Sun, the planets, and
22
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:34.400
our spacecraft continue their slow, steady motion above you. Let
23
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.120
that thought carry you gently towards sleep.
