The ringed planet Saturn reaches peak visibility this month. Jupiter
3
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:23.480
follows behind, rising around midnight and offering spectacular views before sunrise.

If you miss the buck moon last night, look up tonight.

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.640
It is still beautifully full. Mail deer begin growing their
6
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.280
new antlers around this time each summer. Look overhead for
7
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.759
the summer triangle three bright stars from three different constellations, Vega, Deneb,
8
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:53.240
and Altaire. This asterism dominates the summer sky. The Sun
9
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.520
is putting on a show for solar observers. Lots of
10
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.479
active sunspot regions right now, which means the chance of
11
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:04.480
solar flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers in the far north
12
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.200
might catch a faint glow on the horizon tonight. Rocket

carrying the Starlink Internet Satellites Mission. NASA's Space Weather trackers

storm stripping away charged particles of Mars atmosphere, one of
20
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.400
the processes of Martian atmosphere loss studied by NASA's Maven Mission.
21
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.439
NASA MAVN mission scientists have found that certain types of
22
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.840
auroras on Mars form in a similar way. This episode
