The Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups

00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.239
dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.879
day or two. For now, Aurora chances are moderate for

5
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:31.239
those in far northern latitudes. One year on, NASA scientists

6
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.880
are still making huge discoveries about the largest geomagnetic storm

7
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.439
to hit Earth in two decades, the Gannon Storm. The

8
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.320
findings are helping us better understand and prepare for the

9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.880
ways in which the Sun's activity can affect us. One

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.159
Saturn rises before midnight. Now, its famous rings, visible through

12
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.240
even small telescopes, follows in the early morning hours, preparing

13
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.560
for its summer appearance. The slender crescent Moon graces the

14
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.319
evening sky briefly before setting. Dark skies follow for most

00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.879
launch a Falcon nine later today from Cape Canaveral Space

six makes a close approach in about six days. It's

20
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.319
roughly as long as a commercial airliner, passing roughly three

21
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.760
times the Moon's distance. Scientists will be watching NASA's space

22
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.400
weather trackers. Also note a burst of solar material was

23
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:54.879
seen leaving the Sun, moving at moderate speed. This is
