the help of AI. The next major August sky event

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.760
is a deep partial lunar eclipse on August twenty seventh.

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.039
About ninety six percent of the Moon enters Earth's shadow

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.520
for the orange shadowed Moon after dark. Both gas giants

8
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.320
put on a show. Saturn is at its yearly best,

9
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:43.560
while Jupiter grows brighter and rises earlier each evening. A

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.240
bright full moon lights up the night while it drowns

11
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.920
out dimmer stars. It's a great night to explore lunar

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.600
features with a telescope. A long March five rocket is

13
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.640
set to launch in the next couple of days from

14
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.520
Wenchang Space launch site. People's Republic of China, China is

15
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:08.359
behind this one. The European Space Agency selects Arianti six

16
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.840
to launch deep space CubeSat. The European Space Agency has

17
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.280
awarded a contract to launch its solar storm monitoring CubeSat

18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.879
on an Arianti six rocket. An asteroid called two two, one, four,

19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.400
five five two thousand and six BC ten is passing

20
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.959
by in about six days. Its massive bi asteroid standards,

21
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.599
passing about nine lunar distances from Earth. No danger, just

22
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.359
a cosmic neighbor dropping by. Quick solar update. The Sun

23
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.280
is quite active, with numerous sunspot groups visible. That means

24
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.680
a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for those in

25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.640
northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies are clear.
