Calaruga Shark Media. You're listening to Sleep from Space. Look

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.399
overhead for Gemini's twin stars, Castor and pollocks. They mark

3
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.079
the heads of the twin brothers, with fainter stars trailing below,

4
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.600
like their bodies stretching across the Milky Way. Heads up

the next couple of days, roughly three times the Moon's distance.

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.479
It's about as big as a pickup truck. Harmless but

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.359
fun to track. Listen to this audio excerpt from Katie Aridy,

Orian European Service Module Integration office manager. Growing up in

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.240
rural America, Katie already could only dream of working for NASA,

11
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.640
not because she wasn't inspired by the dark, star filled

12
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.560
skies of her hometown, Shelby, Ohio, but because it felt

13
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.000
out of reach. I think NASA was on the Solar front,

14
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.000
high magnetic complexity in several active regions. Northern lights are

15
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.480
possible tonight, heightened chance, especially across Canada and the Northern States.
