The ringed planet Saturn reaches peak visibility this month. Jupiter
3
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.280
follows behind, rising around midnight and offering spectacular views before sunrise.

The Moon is at first quarter, half lit and setting
5
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.000
around midnight, perfect for evening observing, bright enough to see detail,
6
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:39.200
dark enough later for deep sky objects. Look overhead for

the summer triangle three bright stars from three different constellations Vega, DNEB,
8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:53.119
and Altaire. This asterism dominates the summer sky coastal areas

00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.719
see minimal tidal range this week. These neep tides occur
10
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.960
when the Sun and Moon work against each other. The

CESST on nineteenth of May twenty twenty six. The launch
14
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.280
marks the beginning of an ambitious mission to better understand
15
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.280
solar storms, geomagnetic storms, and the science of space weather.

A Victm I rocket is set to launch tomorrow from
17
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.959
Satish Dewan Space Center, India. Skyroot Aerospace is behind this one.

The Sun is putting on a show for solar observers
19
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.760
lots of active sunspot regions right now, which means the
20
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.439
chance of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers in the
21
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.959
far north might catch a faint glow on the horizon tonight.
