Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning. This is space news and
2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:16.559
weather today. Both Saturn and Jupiter grace the night sky.
3
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.480
Saturn is up most of the night, while Jupiter rises
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.960
in the late evening and shines brilliantly by dawn. The
5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.399
Moon is at first quarter half lit and setting around midnight,
6
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.880
perfect for evening observing, bright enough to see detail, dark
7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.560
enough later for deep sky objects. Look overhead for the
8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.560
summer triangle three bright stars from three different constellations, Vega, Denib,
9
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.840
and Alta. This asterism dominates the summer sky. The Sun
10
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.079
is putting on a show for solar observers. Lots of
11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.039
active sunspot regions right now, which means the chance of
12
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.520
solar flares stay elevated. Aurora watchers in the far north
13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:09.200
might catch a faint glow on the horizon tonight. SpaceX
14
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.079
has a Falcon nine on the pad at Vandenberg Space
15
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.040
Force Space, California, set to fly tomorrow. The booster will
16
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:21.359
attempt to land back at Vandenburg. Four astronauts will blast
17
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.879
off to restaff the International Space Station next week, NASA
18
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:29.359
said Friday, after an emergency medical evacuation of the previous crew.
19
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.400
Crew twelve will lift off on a SpaceX Falcon nine
20
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.400
rocket early Wednesday, the United States Space Agency said, with
21
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:44.000
launch time targeted for no earlier than local time. NASA's
22
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.879
space weather trackers also note a burst of solar material
23
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.319
was seen leaving the Sun moving at moderate speed. Space
