Calaroga Shark Media. You're listening to sleep from space. Here
2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.640
is your quiet space report, A short, gentle update on
3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.800
the Sun, the Auroras, and the sky above. In rocket News,
4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.600
a Falcon nine is set to lift off tomorrow from
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.120
Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida. SpaceX will use this mission to
6
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.160
deploy Starlink Internet satellites, and the booster will attempt a landing.
7
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.880
Here's the space weather. The Sun's current cycle is ramping
8
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.560
up and we're seeing more sunspots than usual. These active
9
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.880
zones have high magnetic complexity, making C class flares more
10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.320
likely in the coming hours. For Aurora watchers. Tonight looks promising.
11
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.679
There's a moderate chance the Northern lights could be visible
12
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.920
across Canada and the northern tier of States. Face north
13
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.640
away from city lights and give your eyes time to
14
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.000
adjumt dust. A space rock is passing by Earth twenty
15
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.359
twenty two to Obi five, about the size of a car.
16
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.120
We'll pass Earth in about six days at a safe
17
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.840
distance of one point seven times the distance to the Moon.
18
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.079
It poses no threat to Earth, but it's a reminder
19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.799
of the dynamic neighborhood we live in. Jupiter continues to
20
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.319
shine brilliantly in the evening sky, while Mars is becoming
21
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.200
more prominent, glowing with its characteristic reddish hue low in
22
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.040
the eastern sky after midnight. That's all for today's space report.
23
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.079
Above you, the sky stays busy while your world grows quiet.
24
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.319
Sleep well, and we'll be back again tomorrow
