inside the Sun, which contains ninety nine point eighty six
4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.719
percent of all the mass in our solar system. Look

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.960
east for Leo rising, one of the zodiac's most recognizable shapes.

passes Earth in the next couple of days, about one
12
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.399
point nine lunar distances away. It's roughly the length of
13
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.799
a bus. Harmless but fun to track. Look west after
14
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.920
sunset for Venus so bright it's often mistaken for an airplane.

00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.400
Mars is higher in the sky, still showing its characteristic
16

putting on a show for solar observers lots of active
20
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.560
sunspot regions right now, which means the chance of solar
21
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.000
flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers in the far North might
22
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.000
catch a faint glow on the horizon tonight. This is
