Asteroid twenty twenty two OB five, about the size of

a car, will fly past Earth in about four days,

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.719
about one point seven lunar distances away. Completely safe, but
7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.759
a nice reminder of our busy solar system. SpaceX has

a Falcon nine scheduled later today from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida.

Sun spots are busy right now. High magnetic complexity across

the solar disc that translates to a moderate chance of
11
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.000
auroras for northern viewers. Look north after dark if skies
12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.399
are clear, and that's your update. Rest easy knowing the
13
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.679
universe keep spinning. Good Night,
