Saturn is now visible all night long, reaching its highest

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.440
point around two am. Jupiter rises before midnight, growing brighter

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:27.440
each week. A bright gibbous moon dominates the evening. For

darker skies, wait until the early morning hours after it sets.

Look overhead for the summer triangle. Three bright stars from

three different constellations Vega, Deneb, and altare This asterism dominates
8
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.920
the summer sky. The Sun has been active lately, with
9
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.799
several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible
10
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.119
over the next day or two. For now Aurora chances
11
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.880
are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. NASA's space
12
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.000
weather trackers also note a burst of solar material was
13
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.680
seen leaving the Sun moving at moderate speed. A Falcon

nine rocket is heading to space. In the next couple

of days, SpaceX launches from Vandenburg Space Force Base, California,
16
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.079
sending up the Starlink Internet Satellites mission. The booster will

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.280
Sun and moon work against each other. This episode was
