the help of AI. The next major August sky event

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.760
is a deep partial lunar eclipse on August twenty seventh.

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.839
pm Eastern Time and peaks at twelve thirteen am. Look

7
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:34.359
for the orange shadowed Moon after dark. Both gas giants

8
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.399
put on a show. Saturn is at its yearly best,

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:44.119
while Jupiter grows brighter and rises earlier each evening. Step

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.640

in about seven days, about eight lunar distance from Earth.

14
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.120
It's about the size of a small building. Harmless but

15
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:10.760
fun to track what Lake Boneville left behind. The drying

16
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.840
of the massive lake exposed plias that became the setting

17
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.920
for feats of engineering and technological ingenuity, as well as

18
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.040
epic tales of exploration and desperation. The Sun is putting

19
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.719
on a show for solar observers. Lots of active sunspot

20
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.519
regions right now, which means the chance of solar flares

21
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.799
stays elevated. Aurora watchers in the far North might catch

22
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.480
a faint glow on the horizon tonight. NASA's space weather

23
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.120
trackers also note a burst of solar material was seen

24
