Callaroga Shark Media, Hello, and welcome to Space News and
2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:16.839
Weather Today. Up on the International Space Station, twelve people
3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:21.000
are orbiting Earth right now, including Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb,
4
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.719
and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. Every ninety minutes, they circle the
5
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:32.320
planet two hundred and fifty miles overhead. A Falcon nine
6
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.000
rocket is heading to space. In the next couple of days,
7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.240
SpaceX launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, sending
8
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.320
up the Starlink Internet Satellites mission. The booster will attempt
9
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:49.640
a drone ship landing in the Atlantic. Venus and Jupiter
10
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.039
will meet in a dazzling conjunction on June ninth, the
11
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:59.439
two brightest planets side by side. Saturn rises before midnight,
12
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:04.200
now its famous rings visible through even small telescopes. Jupiter
13
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.560
follows in the early morning hours, preparing for its summer appearance.
14
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.680
The waning Moon takes its time rising tonight. Enjoy dark
15
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:18.159
skies early, then watch the bright moon appear later. Indrecent
16
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.480
new observations of Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, reveal that its
17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:31.040
auroras share detailed structural similarities with auroras on Earth, suggesting
18
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.280
that the physical processes that generate these lights may be
19
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:41.959
universal across different types of celestial bodies. Scorpius makes its
20
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.799
summer appearance low in the south. The constellation's fish hook
21
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.200
shape is easy to spot, with red Anteres gleaming at
22
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:55.400
its center. That's your space update for today, compiled by
23
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.200
