Calaroga Shark Media. Welcome to Space news and weather today.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.640
Saturn is now visible all night long, reaching its highest
3
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.679
point around two am. Jupiter rises before midnight, growing brighter
4
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.399
each week. Step outside early this evening. The bright moon
5
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.399
won't rise until later, leaving the first part of the
6
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.479
night beautifully dark. Look overhead for the summer triangle. Three
7
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.600
bright stars from three different constellations Vega, Denib, and altare
8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:48.920
This asterism dominates the summer sky. NASA's space weather trackers
9
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.359
also note a burst of solar material was seen leaving
10
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.600
the sun. The Sun is putting on a show for
11
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.679
solar observers. Lots of active sunspot regions right now, which
12
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.000
means the chance of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers
13
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.319
in the far North might catch a faint glow on
14
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:14.760
the horizon tonight. NASA Maven Mission scientists have uncovered a
15
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.760
key puzzle piece in understanding certain types of auroras on Mars,
16
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.599
finding that they form in a similar way to Earth
17
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:27.120
based auroras. Results published Thursday in Nature Communications show the
18
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.560
same mechanism that circulates and catapults charged particles into Earth's
19
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.280
atmosphere is happening it launch coming up in the next
20
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.480
couple of days, a Falcon nine from Vandenberg Space Force
21
