00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.559
Saturn is now visible all night long, reaching its highest
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.480
point around two am. Jupiter rises before midnight, growing brighter
4
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.640
each week. The buck moon is lighting up the sky tonight.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.679
Male deer begin growing their new antlers around this time.

Each summer, look overhead for the Summer triangle. Three bright

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.640
stars from three different constellations Vega, Denib, and altare This
8
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.719
asterism dominates the summer sky. The Sun has been active lately,
9
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.200
with several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are
10
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.479
possible over the next day or two. For now, Aurora
11
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.439
chances are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. NASA

Maven mission scientists have uncovered a key puzzle piece in
13
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.200
understanding certain types of auroras on Mars, finding that they
14
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.359
form in a similar way to Earth based auroras. Results
15
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.439
published Thursday in Nature Communications show the same mechanism that
16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:24.400
circulates and catapults charged particles into Earth's atmosphere is happening
17
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:30.439
at NASA's space weather trackers also note a burst of
18
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.319
solar material was seen leaving the Sun. Launch coming up
