4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.440
close approach in about seven days. It's about thirty to
5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.239
fifty feet across, passing roughly four times the Moon's distance.

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.399
Scientists will be watching the Sun is climbing towards solar maximum.
7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.880
Active regions show high magnetic complexity, giving Aurora watchers a
8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.320
moderate shot at seeing the northern lights tonight. Look for
9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:44.439
the snow moon. Last night. February typically sees the heaviest snowfall,
10
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.320
giving this full moon its wintry name. A major water

system activation at the Thad Cochrane Test Stand has moved
12
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.320
NASA Stennis Space Center a step closer to green run
13
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.799
testing of the Exploration Upper Stage for the Artemis for mission.
14
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.239
The activation exercised new cooling hardware and pushed the site's
15
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.079
high pressure industrial water network to full capacity in preparation
16
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.840
for operating the more powerful upper stage t There are
17
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.760
currently twelve astronauts aboard the ISS, including Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb,
18
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.200
and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. They're traveling at seventeeny five downs
19
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.359
one hundred miles per hour, watching sixteen sunrises every day.
20
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.640
Gemini the Twins is high in the sky this month.
21
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.879
Look for two bright stars side by side, Castor and pollocks,
22
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.000
representing the twin brothers of Greek mythology. SpaceX has a
23
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.519
Falcon nine scheduled later today from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida.
