00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.960
Calarogu Shark Media. Good morning. This is space news and
2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.039
weather today. Both Saturn and Jupiter grace the night sky.
3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.920
Saturn is up most of the night, while Jupiter rises
4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.320
in the late evening and shines brilliantly by dawn. The
5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:30.239
waning Moon takes its time rising tonight. Enjoy dark skies early,
6
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.119
then watch the bright moon appear later. Three brilliant stars
7
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.880
form the summer triangle overhead Vega. The brightest is only
8
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.920
twenty five light years away. Deneb, though it looks similar,
9
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.359
is actually two six hundred light years distant, vastly more luminous.
10
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.479
A small space rock named five two three eighth eight
11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.520
two thousand seven m L twenty four makes a close
12
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.200
approach in about three days. It's nearly half a mile wide,
13
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.719
passing about nine lunar distances from Earth. Scientists will be
14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:09.200
watching Aurora Australis launch coming up later today, a Pegasus
15
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.799
Excel from air launch to orbit operated by Northrop Grumm
16
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.239
and Space Systems. The Sun is putting on a show
17
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.519
for solar observers. Lots of active sunspot regions right now,
18
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.120
which means the chance of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora
19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.719
watchers in the far north might catch a faint glow
20
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:33.159
on the horizon tonight. This episode was assembled using AI
21
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.879
pulling from NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Thanks for listening.
