SpaceX will use this mission to deploy Starlink Internet satellites, and the booster will attempt a landing. Here's the space weather.

For Aurora watchers. Tonight looks promising.

Jupiter continues to shine brilliantly in the evening sky, while Mars is becoming more prominent, glowing with its characteristic reddish hue low in the eastern sky after midnight. That's all for today's space report.
