Welcome to Sleep from space. This is your daily space report.

Close your eyes if you'd like, and let's drift through
4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.640
today's space, weather and sky events. Most of the night
5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.519
is moon free tonight, the thin crescent only rises just
6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.079
before sunrise, leaving hours of dark sky. Astronomers are tracking
7
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.800
an asteroid twenty twenty two to OB five, about the
8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.799
size of a car. We'll pass Earth tomorrow at a
9
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.600
safe distance of one point seven times the distance to
10
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.960
the Moon. No danger to us, but it's a good
11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.679
reminder that space is always active around Earth. Jupiter rules
12
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.880
the early evening, shining bright and steady overhead. If you
13
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.159
stay up late, catch Mars rising in the east after midnight.
14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.359
Its rusty color is unmistakable. Now to today's launch news,
15
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.560
a Falcon nine is to lift off later today from
16
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.120
Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida. SpaceX will use this mission to
17
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.680
deploy Starlink Internet satellites, and the booster will attempt a landing.
18
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.719
That's the update for today. The Sun, the planets, and
19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.200
our spacecraft continue their slow, steady motion above you. Let
20
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.760
that thought carry you gently towards sleep.
