Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Space News and Weather. Today.
2
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.480
The Sun is putting on a show for solar observers.
3
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.920
Lots of active sunspot regions right now, which means the
4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
chance of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers in the
5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.199
far North might catch a faint glow on the horizon tonight.
6
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.520
Something to ponder. One million earths could fit inside the Sun,
7
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.840
which contains ninety nine nine point eighty six percent of
8
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.799
all the mass in our solar system. New observations of
9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.600
Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, reveal that its auroras share detailed
10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.200
structural similarities with auroras on Earth, suggesting that the physical
11
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.200
processes that generate these lights may be universal across different
12
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.520
types of celestial bodies. The Moon is nearly full and
13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.920
quite bright tonight. Early evening is your best bet for
14
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.959
stargazing before moonlight takes over. A Falcon nine rocket is
15
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.239
heading to space. Later today, SpaceX launches from Cape Canaveral
16
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.000
Space Force Station, Florida, sending up the Starlink Internet Satellites mission.
17
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.040
The booster will attempt a drone ship landing in the
18
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:29.120
Atlantic look West after dark. Venus shines like a beacon.
19
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.760
Night owls can catch Saturn rising in the east around
20
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.599
two AM. Golden and steady among the stars. Boots the
21
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:43.040
Herdsman rises high tonight, led by brilliant arcturists. This orange
22
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.200
giant is only thirty seven light years away, practically a
23
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.719
neighbor in cosmic terms. AI helped gather today's update from
24
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.640
NASA and Spaceflight News sources. The sky will be here
25
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:56.319
when you wake
