The two brightest planets meet tonight. Venus and Jupiter appear

3
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.239
about a degree apart in the evening sky, an absolutely

4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.960
dazzling pair. Look west after sunset for two brilliant lights

5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.160
close together. The Sun has been active lately, with several

6
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.240
sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible over

7
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.320
the next day or two. For now Aurora, chances are

8
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:43.399
moderate for those in far northern latitudes. One of the

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.560
At larger than a football field, it'll pass about sixteen

12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.520
lunar distances from Earth. No threat, just a cosmic passerby.

15
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.120
set to fly later today. Here's something to think about.

16
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.719
Saturn's density is so low that if you could find

17
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.000
a bathtub big enough, the planet would float in water.

18
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.400
The Moon is a thin crescent rising before dawn, leaving

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.840
most of the night beautifully dark for stargazing. NASA's space

Weather trackers also note CME observed to the SW and
