Weather Today. Jupiter hosts the brightest and most spectacular auroras
3
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.440
in the Solar System near its poles. These shimmering lights
4
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.000
offer a glimpse into how the planet interacts with the
5
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:31.440
solar wind and moons swept by Jupiter's magnetic field. Unlike
6
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.200
Earth's northern lights, the largest moons of Jupiter create their
7
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:41.280
own auroral signatures in the planet's atmosphere. The Sun has
8
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.359
been active lately, with several sunspot groups dotting its surface.
9
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.640
Solar flares are possible over the next day or two.
10
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.359
For now, aurora chances are moderate for those in far
11
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:58.880
northern latitudes. The slender crescent moon graces the evening sky
12
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.399
briefly before setting. Dark skies follow for most of the night.
13
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.959
The brightest planet, Venus, hangs in the west after sunset.

For early risers, Saturn climbs the eastern sky in the
15
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.159
pre dawn hours. A Falcon nine rocket is set to
16
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.799
launch tomorrow from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. SpaceX
17
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.799
is behind this one. The booster will attempt a drone
18
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:31.280
ship landing in the Atlantic. Space News and Weather Today
