0:03 Calarogu Shark Media. Welcome to sleep from space. Solar storm alert conditions are right for a major Aurora display tonight. The northern lights may be visible well into the lower forty eight states. Find a dark spot away from city lights and look north. A Falcon nine lifts off tomorrow from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida. SpaceX is putting Starlink Internet satellites into orbit. Gemini dominates the overhead sky after dark. The Twins' heads are marked by Castor and Polyx, two of the brightest stars in the winter sky. Pollux is slightly brighter with an orange tint.
0:49 Asteroid twenty twenty five Dq, about the size of a car, will fly past Earth in about six days, roughly three times the Moon's distance. Completely safe, but a nice reminder of our busy solar system. A major water system activation at the Thad Cochrane Test Stand has moved NASA Stennis Space Center a step closer to green run testing of the exploration upper stage for the Artemis AfOR mission. The activation exercised new cooling hardware and pushed the site's high pressure industrial water network to full capacity in preparation for operating the more powerful upper stage. Tich Ai helped gather tonight's update from NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Rest easy knowing the universe keeps spinning. Good Night,
