Both Saturn and Jupiter grace the night sky. Saturn is
3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.000
up most of the night, while Jupiter rises in the
4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:24.839
late evening and shines brilliantly by dawn. The Moon is
5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.440
a slim crescent in the western sky after sunset, setting
6
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.079
early and leaving dark skies for the rest of the night.

Look overhead for the summer triangle three bright stars from
8
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.560
three different constellations, Vega, Deneb, and Altaire. This asterism dominates
9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.640
the summer sky. The Smile spacecraft lifted off on a

Five point fifty two CEST on nineteenth May twenty twenty six.
12
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.159
The launch marks the beginning of an ambitious mission to
13
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:05.079
better understand solar storms, geomagnetic storms, and the science of
14
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:10.120
space weather. The Sun is putting on a show for
15
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.560
solar observers. Lots of active sunspot regions right now, which
16
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:19.560
means the chance of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers
17
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.840
in the far North might catch a faint glow on
18
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.959
the horizon tonight. Launch coming up in the next couple

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.840
operated by SpaceX. NASA's space weather trackers also note a
21
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.879
burst of solar material was seen on the southwest side
22
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:47.879
of the Sun, moving at moderate speed. Today's report was
