Welcome to sleep from space. Solar storm alert conditions are
3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.039
right for a major Aurora display tonight. The northern lights
4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.719
may be visible well into the lower forty eight states.
5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.600
Find a dark spot away from city lights and look north.
6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.879
A Falcon nine lifts off tomorrow from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida.

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:36.719
SpaceX is putting Starlink Internet satellites into orbit. Gemini dominates
8
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.920
the overhead sky after dark. The Twins' heads are marked
9
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.359
by Castor and Polyx, two of the brightest stars in
10
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.640
the winter sky. Pollux is slightly brighter with an orange tint.
11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.119
Asteroid twenty twenty five Dq, about the size of a car,
12
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.240
will fly past Earth in about six days, roughly three
13
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.159
times the Moon's distance. Completely safe, but a nice reminder
14
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:08.480
of our busy solar system. A major water system activation
15
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.560
at the Thad Cochrane Test Stand has moved NASA Stennis
16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.239
Space Center a step closer to green run testing of
17
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.120
the exploration upper stage for the Artemis AfOR mission. The
18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.400
activation exercised new cooling hardware and pushed the site's high
19
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.200
pressure industrial water network to full capacity in preparation for
20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.040
operating the more powerful upper stage. Tich Ai helped gather
21
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.959
tonight's update from NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Rest easy
22
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.719
knowing the universe keeps spinning. Good Night,
