0:03 Calarogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Space News and weather Today. Saturn is well placed for late night viewing. Rising before midnight. Jupiter joins the morning sky, brilliant and impossible to miss before sunrise. The Moon rises late tonight, giving you dark skies for the first few hours after sunset, great time to catch some stars. Scorpius crawls above the southern horizon, its curved tail unmistakable. The red super giant Anteres marks the scorpion's heart, a star so large it would engulf Mars if placed at our Sun's position. Aurora Australis heads up for asteroid fans. Fifteen two, six three seven nineteen ninety seven NC one passes Earth tomorrow, about six lunar distances from Earth. It's several hundred meters across, harmless but fun to track. The Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next day or two. For now Aurora, chances are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. Launch coming up later today. An electron from Mehea Peninsula, New Zealand, operated by rocket Lab. Today's report was compiled by AI from NASA Launch Library and Spaceflight News. See you tomorrow.
