Calarogus Shark Media. Good morning, this is Space News and
2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:15.439
Weather Today. Launch coming up in the next couple of days.

A Falcon nine from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:27.640
SpaceX is sending up Starlink Internet satellites Arcturists blazes overhead tonight,
5
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.280
an orange giant star about twenty five times larger than
6
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.399
our Sun. It's the bottom point of the kite shaped
7
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:41.960
boots constellation. Coastal areas are experiencing spring tides right now,
8
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.280
the highest highs and lowest lows of the month. The
9
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.560
Sun and Moon are aligned, pulling together on Earth's oceans.
10
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.000
Fun fact, there are more stars in the universe than
11
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.719
grains of sand on all of Earth's beaches, roughly ten
12
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:03.079
sextillion stars. There is plenty of activity on the Sun
13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.719
right now. Multiple sunspot regions are crackling with energy, and
14
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.760
solar flares could fire off at any time. Northern lights
15
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.319
chances remain moderate tonight for viewers in Canada and the
16
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:22.879
northernmost States. New observations of Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, revealed
17
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.480
that its auroras share detailed structural similarities with auroras on Earth,
18
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.239
suggesting that the physical processes that generate these lights may
19
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.640
be universal across different types of celestial bodies. Look west
20
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.359
after dark, Venus shines like a beacon. Night owls can
21
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.239
catch Saturn rising in the east around two AM, golden
22
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:52.400
and steady among the stars. That's your space update for today,
23
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.280
