Calarogashark Media. This is Space News and Weather Today. NASA
2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.879
invites media to view a research aircraft and interview scientists
3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.440
in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Thursday at Gamber twenty two, prior
4
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.399
to flights of the agency's Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment, which
5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.120
seeks a better understanding of the sensitivity of northern ecosystems
6
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.960
and communities to climate change. Media also will have the
7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.679
opportunity to tour NASA's C twenty A. A our tourist
8
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.880
blazes overhead tonight, an orange giant star about twenty five
9
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.960
times larger than our sun. It's the bottom point of
10
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.520
the kite shaped Boots constellation. Quick solar update. The sun
11
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.240
is quite active with numerous sunspot groups visible. That means
12
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.719
a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for those in
13
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.560
northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies are clear.
14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.519
Something to ponder. Radio signals from Earth have been traveling
15
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.439
through space for about one hundred years. Any civilization within
16
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:21.239
one hundred light years could potentially detect Us. Venus continues
17
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.840
to dazzle in the evening twilight. Saturn becomes visible after midnight,
18
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:31.519
offering a preview of the summer viewing season ahead. Most
19
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.680
of the night is moon free. Tonight, the thin crescent
20
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.680
only rises just before sunrise, leaving hours of dark sky.
21
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.959
Coastal areas are experiencing spring tides right now, the highest
22
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.920
highs and lowest lows of the month. The Sun and
23
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:54.239
Moon are aligned, pulling together on Earth's oceans. Space News
