NASA Stenis Space Center a step closer to green run

testing of the Exploration Upper stage for the Artemis AFEM mission.

00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.600
The activation exercised new cooling hardware and pushed the site's

high pressure industrial water network to full capacity in preparation

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.119
for operating the more powerful upper stage. T Look for
8
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.840
the snow moon two nights ago. February typically sees the
9
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:49.679
heaviest snowfall, giving this full moon its wintry name. The
10
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.399
constellation Gemini rides high tonight. Find the two bright stars
11
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.840
Castor and Pollocks above Orion. Castor is actually six stars
12
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.000
in one, so you'll need a telescope to split them.

A small space rock named twenty twenty five DQ makes
14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.560
a close approach in about seven days. It's roughly car sized,
15
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.640
passing roughly three times the Moon's distance. Scientists will be

watching the Sun's been putting on a show with high
17
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.680
magnetic complexity right now. There's a moderate chance you might
18
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.040
see auroras if you're far enough north Face north after
19
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.319
nine pm for the best view. A falcon nine lifts
