00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:15.160
This is Acencia. Venus and Jupiter come together in the
3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.519
sky tonight, the two brightest planets shining side by side.
4
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.600
This stunning conjunction is easy to spot. Just look west
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:29.600
after sunset, no telescope needed. Quick solar update. The Sun
6
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.079
is quite active with numerous sunspot groups visible. That means
7
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.560
a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for those in
8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.479
northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies are clear.

One year on, NASA scientists are still making huge discoveries
10
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.479
about the largest geomagnetic storm to hit Earth in two decades,
11
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.079
the Gannon Storm. The findings are helping us better understand
12
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.439
and prepare for the ways in which the Sun's activity
13
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.479
can affect. One year ago today, representatives from NASA and
14

about thirty other With the Sun and Moon aligned, spring
15
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.120
tides are in effect along coastlines. These are the most
16
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.519
dramatic tides of the lunar cycle. A small space rock

It's several hundred feet across, passing about sixteen lunar distances
20
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.879
from Earth, scientists will be watching Scorpius crawls above the
21
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.840
southern horizon, its curved tail unmistakable. The red supergiant Antaryes
22
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.280
marks the scorpion's heart, a star so large it would
23
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.760
engulf Mars if placed at our Sun's position. NASA's space

25
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.920
seen on the northwest side of the Sun. This episode
