weather today. Dramene oh Why Saturn is well placed for
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.719
late night viewing. Rising before midnight, Jupiter joins the morning sky,
4
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:26.079
brilliant and impossible to miss before sunrise. The Moon is
5
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.960
waning gibbous, rising a bit later each night. Early evening

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.240
offers good dark sky time before moonrise. Scorpius crawls above
7
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.240
the southern horizon, its curved tail unmistakable. The red super
8
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.399
giant Antarrys marks the scorpion's heart, a star so large
9
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.119
it would engulf Mars if placed at our Sun's position.

NC one is passing by today. It's nearly half a
14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.640
mile wide, passing about six lunar distances from Earth. No danger,
15
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:16.879
just a cosmic neighbor dropping by. Quick solar update. The
16
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.239
Sun is quite active, with numerous sunspot groups visible. That
17
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.920
means a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for those
18
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.799
in northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies are clear.

is called Starlink Internet Satellites. The booster will attempt to
22
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.760
land back at Vandenberg. AI helped gather today's update from
23
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.439
NASA and Spaceflight News sources. The sky will be here
