Calaroga Shark Media. Good morning. This is space news and

Jupiter follows behind, rising around midnight and offering spectacular views

before sunrise. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset and stays
5
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.960
bright all night, washing out fainter stars but offering beautiful
6
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:39.439
views of lunar craters and Maria. The iconic Summer Triangle
7
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.399
rules the sky overhead. These three stars, Vega, Deneb, and
8
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.679
altare are visible all night and serve as a guide

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.560
to the fainter summer constellations. The Sun has been active lately,
10
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.039
with several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are
11
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.240
possible over the next day or two. For now, aura
12
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.120
chances are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. Tides
13
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.480
are at their most extreme this week, as the Moon
14
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:13.079
and Sun combine their gravitational pull. Coastal communities see their
15
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.680
highest and lowest water levels. NASA's space weather trackers also
16
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.680
note a burst of solar material was seen on the
17
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:28.120
southeast side of the Sun, moving at moderate speed. NASA

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.359
Maven mission scientists have uncovered a key puzzle piece in
19
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.159
understanding certain types of auroras on Mars, finding that they
20
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.959
form in a similar way to Earth based auroras. Results
21
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.879
published Thursday in Nature Communications show the same mechanism that
