Both Saturn and Jupiter grace the night sky. Saturn is
3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.920
up most of the night, while Jupiter rises in the
4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.600
late evening and shines brilliantly by dawn. The Moon is
5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.160
waxing gibbous, more than half lit and growing toward full.
6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.359
It sets late, giving only a brief window of dark skies.

After sunset. Three brilliant stars form the summer triangle overhead Vega,

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.640
the brightest, is only twenty five light years away. Deneb,

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.039
though it looks similar, is actually two thy six hundred
10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:54.320
light years distant, vastly more luminous. Launch coming up tomorrow,

rock name twenty fifteen BF, makes a close approach in
14
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.640
about four days. It's roughly the length of a bus,
15
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.159
passing about seventeen lunar distances from Earth. Scientists will be watching.
16
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.680
The Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups
17
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.120
dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next
18
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.560
day or two. For now Aurora chances are moderate for
19
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:34.239
those in far northern latitudes. The Smile spacecraft lifted off

twenty twenty six. The launch marks the beginning of an
23
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.760
ambitious mission to better understand solar storms, geomagnetic storms, and
24
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.000
the science of space weather. Space News and Weather Today
