3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.920
is a deep partial lunar eclipse on August twenty seventh,

4
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.000
About ninety six percent of the Moon enters Earth's shadow

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.960
for the orange shadowed Moon after dark. This is Saturn's

8
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.200
best month. The ringed planet is visible all night and

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.240
at its brightest, Jupiter is not far behind, rising in

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.799

Telescope pre launch and launch activities. Roman is NASA's next

15
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.640
generation observatory designed to explore some of the universe's biggest mysteries,

16
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.359
including dark energy. NASA and SpaceX are targeting Roman's lift

17
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:22.799
off for no earlier than seven twenty six am. NASA's

space weather trackers also note a M one point nine

19
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.680
class solar flare occurred on the Sun. An asteroid called

20
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.400
twenty seventeen R eight sixteen is passing by in about

21
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.480
six days. It's roughly the length of a bus, passing

22
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.879
about eight lunar distances from Earth. No danger, just to

23
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:46.000
cosmic neighbor dropping by. Quick solar update. The Sun is

24
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.280
quite active, with numerous sunspot groups visible. That means a

25
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.760
moderate chance of northern lights tonight for those in northern latitudes.

26
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.719
