Calarogashark Media. Welcome to Space News and Weather today. The

00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.239
Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups dotting
3
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.960
its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next day
4
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.839
or two. For now, Aurora chances are moderate for those
5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:31.079
in far northern latitudes. One year on, NASA scientists are
6
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.679
still making huge discoveries about the largest geomagnetic storm to
7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.640
hit Earth in two decades, the Gannon Storm. The findings
8
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.399
are helping us better understand and prepare for the ways
9
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.880
in which the Sun's activity can affect us. One year

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:53.479
ago today, representatives from NASA and about thirty other NASA's
11
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.280
space weather trackers also note a burst of solar material
12
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.920
was seen leaving the Sun. Saturn rises before midnight now
13
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:08.480
its famous rings visible through even small telescopes. Jupiter follows
14
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.680
in the early morning hours, preparing for its summer appearance.

SpaceX has a Falcon nine on the pad at Vandenburg
16
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.599
Space Force Base, California, set to fly later today. The
17
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.760
mission is called Starlink Internet Satellites. The booster will attempt
18
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:31.760
to land back at Vandenburg Asteroid fly By Alert two

thousand three L and six, comparable to a large aircraft
20
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.560
passes roughly three times the Moon's distance in about three days.
21
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:46.599
These close approaches happen weekly. Astronomers track thousands of them.
22
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.879
Look west after sunset to catch the thin crescent moon.
23
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.239
It'll set early, leaving the rest of the night nice
24
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:59.000
and dark. Today's report was compiled by AI from NASA
