Calaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Space News and Weather. Today,

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.839
the ringed planet Saturn reaches peak visibility this month. Jupiter
3
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.839
follows behind, rising around midnight and offering spectacular views before sunrise.
4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.120
The Moon is at last quarter, rising after midnight. Early
5
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.960
evening skies are dark and perfect for stargazing before the
6
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.399
moon appears. The iconic Summer triangle rules the sky overhead.
7
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.840
These three stars Vega, Denub, and altare are visible all
8
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.079
night and serve as a guide to the fainter summer constellations.

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.719
The Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups
10
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.560
dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next
11
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.560
day or two. For now Aurora chances are moderate for
12
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:08.239
those in far northern latitudes. Northrop Grumm and Space Systems

has a Pegasus XL on the pad at air launch
14
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.439
to Orbit, set to fly later today. An asteroid called

m L twenty four is passing by in the next
17
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.599
couple of days. It's massive bi asteroid standards, passing about
18
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.560
nine lunar distances from Earth. No danger, just a cosmic

neighbor dropping by NASA's space weather trackers also note a

M four point two class solar flare occurred on the Sun.
