NASA's space weather trackers also note a burst of solar
8
00:00:35.329 --> 00:00:37.850
material was seen on the southwest side of the sun.

lunar distances from Earth in the next couple of days.
15
00:01:02.909 --> 00:01:07.079
These close approaches happen weekly. Astronomers track thousands of them.

sunspot groups visible. That means a moderate chance of northern
22
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.650
lights tonight for those in northern latitudes. Look north after
