Calarogus Shark Media. Good evening. This is sleep from space.
2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.800
Workers have completed repairs to the helium pressurization system in
3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.960
the upper stage of the space launch system, keeping a
4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.359
potential April launch of the Artemus two mission on track.
5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:28.320
Asteroid Flyby Alert twenty twenty six DH eleven, roughly the
6
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.640
length of a bus, passes roughly three times the Moon's
7
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.679
distance in about four days. These close approaches happen weekly.
8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.840
Astronomers track thousands of them. Spring brings Leo into prime
9
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:46.200
viewing position. The constellation's brightest star, Regulus, shines steadily in
10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.479
the east. Above it, the curved sickle outlines the Lion's
11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.399
magnificent Maine launch coming up in the next couple of days.
12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.759
A Falcon nine from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, spacexis
13
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.719
cenis up Starlink Internet satellites. Right now, twelve humans are
14
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.159
living in space aboard the iss Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb,
15
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.599
and Tracy Caldwell Dyson among them. The station passes overhead
16
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.599
several times a day. If you know when to look.
17
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.040
Sunspots are busy right now. High magnetic complexity across the
18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.840
solar disc that translates to a moderate chance of auroras
19
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.560
for northern viewers. Look north after dark if skies are clear.
