Saturn is now visible all night long, reaching its highest

point around two am. Jupiter rises before midnight, growing brighter

each week. A slim crescent moon rises in the pre

dawn hours, so tonight's skyes stay dark all evening, perfect
6
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.719
for stargazing. Three brilliant stars form the summer triangle overhead. Vega,
7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.359
the brightest, is only twenty five light years away. Deneb,

though it looks similar, is actually twenty six hundred light
9
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:50.560
years distant. Vastly more luminous. Aurora australis launch coming up
10
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.240
in the next couple of days. A Falcon nine from

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida SpaceX is sending up
12
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.759
Starlink Internet satellites. The Sun has been active lately, with
13
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.280
several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible
14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.159
over the next day or two. For now, Aurora chances
15
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.239
are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. One of
16
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.599
the many asteroids in our neighborhood, two thousand seven AA two,
17
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.239
swings by in about three days at about the size
18
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.400
of a jumbo jet. It'll pass about seventeen lunar distances
19
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.519
from Earth, no threat, just a cosmic passerby. Today's report
