00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.880
are currently twelve astronauts aboard the ISS, including Oleg Kononenko,
3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.120
Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. They're traveling at seventeen

Step outside and look south, Orion commands the sky. The

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.880
constellation's seven main stars form one of the most recognizable
7
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.280
patterns in the heavens. Binoculars reveal the sword hanging from
8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.880
his belt. A Falcon nine is heading to space. In
9
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.039
the next couple of days, SpaceX launches from Vandenberg Space
10
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:51.200
Force Base, California, sending up Starlink Internet satellites. The booster
11
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.759
will attempt to land back at Vandenburg. The Sun's been
12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.600
putting on a show with high magnetic complexity right now.

00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.359
There's a heightened chance you might see a roar as
14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.200
if you're far enough north face north after nine pm
15
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.400

one point three lunar distances away in about seven days.
18
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.640
These close approaches happen weekly astronomers track thousands of them.
19
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.079
NASA's Artemis two moon rocket has arrived at the launch
20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.239
pad at Cape Canaveral. Four astronauts will fly around the
21
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.879
Moon as early as February sixth, the first crude lunar
22
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.760
mission in over fifty years. And with that we'll say
23
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.040
good night, see you tomorrow.
