00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.879
is a deep partial lunar eclipse on August twenty seven.

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.280
About ninety six percent of the Moon enters Earth's shadow

In the US. The eclipse begins at ten thirty three

pm Eastern Time and peaks at twelve thirteen am. Look

7
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.479
for the orange shadowed Moon after dark. Both gas giants

8
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.280
put on a show. Saturn is at its yearly best,

9
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:43.000
while Jupiter grows brighter and rises earlier each evening. A

10
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.280
bright full Moon lights up the night while it drowns

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.039
out dimmer stars. It's a great night to explore lunar

12
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.039
features with a telescope. A small space rock named two two, one, four,

13

five five two thousand and six BC ten makes a

14
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.240
close approach in about five days. It's massive by asteroid standards,

15
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.319
passing about nine lunar distances from Earth. Scientists will be watching.

16

China has a long March five on the pad at

17
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.519
Wenchang Space Launch Site People's Republic of China, set to

18
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.719
fly in the next couple of days. Quick solar update.

19
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.599
The Sun is quite active, with numerous sunspot groups visible.

20
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.640
That means a moderate chance of northern lights tonight. For

21
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.560
those in northern latitudes, look north after dark. If skies

22
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.319
are clear with the Sun and moon aligned, spring tides

23
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.280
are in effect along coastlines. These are the most dramatic

24
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:50.200
tides of the lunar cycle. That's your space Update for today,
