You're listening to space news and weather Today. NASA invites

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.119
media to view a research aircraft and interview scientists in Fairbanks, Alaska,
3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.080
on Thursday, Augunier twenty two, prior to flights of the
4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:20.679
agency's Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment, which seeks a better understanding
5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.519
of the sensitivity of northern ecosystems and communities to climate change.
6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.760
Media also will have the opportunity to tour NASA's C

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.679
twenty a A. A small space rock named five three
8
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.039
oh five two zero twenty eleven LT seventeen makes a
9
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.880
close approach in about six days. It's bigger than a
10
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.520
sports stadium, passing about sixteen lunar distances from Earth. Scientists
11
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.840
will be watching most of the night. Is moon free tonight,
12
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.640
the thin crescent only rises just before sunrise, leaving hours
13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.520
of dark sky. A Falcon nine rocket is heading to
14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.680
space time tomorrow. SpaceX launches from Vandenberg Space Force Space, California,
15
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.040
sending up the Starlink Internet Satellites mission. The booster will
16
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.439
attempt to land back at Vandenburg. Venus and Jupiter will
17
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.920
meet in a dazzling conjunction on June ninth, The two
18
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.280
brightest planets side by side. The Sun is putting on
19
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.280
a show for solar observers. Lots of active sunspot regions
20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.120
right now, which means the chance of solar flares stays elevated.
21
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.439
Aurora watchers in the far North might catch a faint
22
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:41.159
glow on the horizon tonight. Space is strange. Neutron stars
23
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.719
are so dense that a teaspoon of their material would
24
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:50.239
weigh about six billion tons on Earth. Today's report was
25
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:55.359
compiled by AI from NASA Launch Library and Spaceflight News.
