0:03 Calarogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Space News and Weather Today. Boots the Herdsman rises high tonight, led by brilliant arcturists. This orange giant is only thirty seven Somatinsey, one seventy seven light years away, practically a neighbour in cosmic terms. Tomorrow night brings the blue Moon. The second full moon in a single month is called a blue moon. This one is also a micromoon, the farthest and smallest full moon of the year. Space is strange. Radio signals from Earth have been traveling through space for about one hundred years. Any civilization within one hundred light years could potentially detect Us. The Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next day or two. For now, aurora chances are moderate. For those in far northern latitudes. Look west after dark, Venus shines like a beacon. Night owls can catch Saturn rising in the east around two AM, golden and steady among the stars. New observations of Jupiter's largest moon, Ganimede, reveal that its auroras share detailed structural similarities with auroras on Earth, suggesting that the physical processes that generate these lights may be universal across different types of celestial bodies.
1:37 Rocket launch Alert SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon nine later today from Vandenberg Space Force based California, carrying the Starlink Internet Satellites mission.
