0:03 Calarogus Shark Media, Welcome to Sleep from space. The Sun has been active lately. We're seeing high magnetic complexity across several sunspot groups, with a moderate chance of auroras tonight. For those in northern latitudes. One of the many asteroids in our neighborhood, twenty twenty six Cu, swings by in about six days at about thirty to fifty feet across. It'll pass about five lunar distances from Earth. No threat, just a cosmic passerby. NASA officials defended their preparations for the Artemis two mission after a fueling test experienced the same type of hydrogen leaks that bedeviled Artemis Ie one more than three years ago. Tonight's full moon is the snow moon. February typically sees the heaviest snowfall, giving this full moon its name. Gemini dominates the overhead sky after dark. The Twins' heads are marked by Castor and Pollux, two of the brightest stars in the winter sky.
1:11 Pollux is slightly brighter with an orange tint. Rocket watchers Krunichev State Research and Production Space Center launches a proton m later today from Baikonur Cosmodrome Republic of Kazakhstan carrying its payload. Tonight's report was compiled by AI from NASA Launch Library and Spaceflight News. See you Tomorrow night,
