sun is climbing towards solar maximum active regions show high

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.960
magnetic complexity, giving Aurora watchers a heightened shot at seeing

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.239
the northern lights Tonight. The constellation Gemini rides high tonight.

Find the two bright stars Castor and Pollux above Orion.
6
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.119
Castor is actually six stars in one, though you'll need
7
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.920
a telescope to split them. Launch coming up tomorrow. A

Falcon nine from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. SpaceX is

sending up Starlink Internet satellites. An asteroid called twenty twenty

six CU one is passing by in about three days.
11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.320
It's comparable to a large aircraft passing roughly three times
12
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.399
the Moon's distance. No danger, just a cosmic neighbor dropping by.

NASA prepares for likely rollback of space launch system, delaying

Artemis two to April. NASA is gearing up for a
15
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.719
likely rollback of the space launch system rocket. Six planets

form a rare arc across the evening sky this week
17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.719
after sunset, look west to east to spot Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
18
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.439
and Neptune. Though the Outer two need a telescope. Tonight's
