You're listening to space news and weather today. High above

the Arctic Circle on the rugged terrain of Andoya three,
3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.800
the European Space Agency radio navigation engineers take a rare
4
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.600
moment to unwind with a game of shuffle board outside

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.399
sheep Graze under the shimmering northern lights, a serene backdrop
6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.239
to their demanding mission test how navigation technologies withstand interference signals.

With one hundred td bide of data collected over five days,

their efforts promised to strengthen the reliability of satellite navigation
9
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:46.320
for the benefit of us all something to ponder. The
10
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.759
Great Red Spot on Jupiter is a storm that has
11
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.719
been raging for at least four hundred years and is
12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:57.079
larger than Earth. The Sun has been active lately, with
13
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.520
several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible
14
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.519
over the next day or two. For now, Aurora chances
15
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:09.719
are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. One of
16
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.719
the many asteroids in our neighborhood five three oh five

two zero twenty eleven lt seventeen swings by in about
18
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.319
five days. At several hundred feet across. It'll pass about
19
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.840
sixteen lunar distances from Earth, no threat, just a cosmic passerby.
20
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:31.200
Look southeast around midnight, Saturn glows with a steady yellowish light.
21
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.319
Jupiter rises in the pre dawn hours, signaling its return
22
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:41.799
to evening skies. Soon Scorpius makes its summer appearance. Low
23
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.920
in the south. The constellation's fish hook shape is easy
24
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.760
to spot, with red an terries gleaming at its center.
25
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.519
Launch coming up tomorrow a Falcon nine from Cape Canaveral
