00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.399
is at its yearly best, while Jupiter grows brighter and
4
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:25.000
rises earlier each evening. The Moon is a thin crescent

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:34.000
for stargazing. The Northern Cross hangs high overhead part of

This July twenty third, twenty twenty six illustration depicts charged
10
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.640
particles from a solar storm stripping away charged particles of
11
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.000
Mars atmosphere, one of the processes of Martian atmosphere loss
12
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.079
studied by NASA's Maven Mission. NASA Maven Mission scientists have
13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.679
found that certain types of auroras on Mars form in
14
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:08.400
a similar way. Launch coming up tomorrow a long March
15
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.760
eight a from Wenchang Space launch site People's Republic of
16
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.760
China operated by China. NASA's space weather trackers also note
17
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.680
a burst of solar material was seen on the northeast
18
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.640
side of the Sun. The Sun has been active lately,
19
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.239
with several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are
20
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.359
possible over the next day or two. For now, Aurora
21
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:41.239
chances are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. This
22
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.680
episode was assembled using AI pulling from NASA and Spaceflight
23
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.920
News sources. Thanks for listening.
