There are currently twelve astronauts aboard the ISS, including Oleg Kononenko,
3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.440
Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. They're traveling at seventeen

ey five hundred miles per hour, watching sixteen sunrises every
5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:29.839
day quick solar update. High magnetic complexity across active regions
6
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.479
means a moderate chance of northern lights, best viewing after

ten PM looking north. NASA's approach to managing the development

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.920
of crude lunar landers for artemis has successfully controlled costs
9
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.520
but not schedule, raising questions about NASA's desire to accelerate
10
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.039
those efforts. Asteroid flyby Alert twenty twenty six DV seventeen,
11
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.920
comparable to a city bus, passes roughly two times the
12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.799
Moon's distance in the next couple of days. These close
13
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:07.280
approaches happen weekly, astronomers track thousands of them. SpaceX has
14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.280
a Falcon nine scheduled later today from Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida.

The constellation Leo takes center stage as winter gives way
16
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.599
to spring. Find the bright star regulus, then trace the
