00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.199
Welcome to Sleep from Space. A Falcon nine is heading
3
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.600
to space Tomorrow. SpaceX launches from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida,
4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.879
sending up Starlink Internet satellites. The booster will attempt a
5
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.399
drone ship landing in the Atlantic. NASA prepares for a
6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.120
likely rollback of Space Launch System, delaying Artemis two to April.
7
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.200
NASA is gearing up for a likely rollback of the
8
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.159
Space launch System rocket. The constellation Gemini rides high tonight.

Find the two bright stars Castor and pollocks above Orion.
10
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.759
Castor is actually six stars in one, though you'll need
11
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.960
a telescope to split them. The Sun's been putting on
12
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.920
a show with high magnetic complexity right now. There's a
13
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.640
heightened chance you might see auroras if you're far enough

north face north after nine pm for the best view.

A small space rock named twenty twenty six c U
16
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.959
one makes a close approach in the next couple of days.
17
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.000
It's comparable to a large aircraft, passing roughly three times
18
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.760
the Moon's distance. Scientists will be watching six planets form
19
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.879
a rare arc across the evening sky this week after sunset.
20
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.799
Look west to east to spot Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
21
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:28.359
and Neptune, though the outer two need a telescope. Sleep
