Calarogashark Media. Welcome to Space news and weather Today. The

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.280
Sun is putting on a show for solar observers. Lots
3
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.480
of active sunspot regions right now, which means the chance
4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:24.519
of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora watchers in the far
5
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.359
north might catch a faint glow on the horizon tonight.

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.679
One year on, NASA scientists are still making huge discoveries
7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.280
about the largest geomagnetic storm to hit Earth in two decades,
8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.320
the Gannon Storm. The findings are helping us better understand
9
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.560
and prepare for the ways in which the Sun's activity
10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.039
can affect us. One year ago today, representatives from NASA
11
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:56.840
and about thirty other NASA's space weather trackers also note
12
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.960
a burst of solar material was seen leaving the Sun
13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:06.079
on Moving at moderate speed, Scorpius makes its summer appearance
14
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.640
low in the south. The constellation's fish hook shape is
15
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.239
easy to spot, with red anteres gleaming at its center.
16
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.319
Saturn is well placed for late night viewing. Rising before midnight.
17

Jupiter joins the morning sky, brilliant and impossible to miss
18
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:30.799
before sunrise. Asteroid Flyby Alert two thousand and three N

20
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.680
three times the Moon's distance in about seven days. These
21
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.560
close approaches happen weekly. Astronomers track thousands of them. Rocket

23
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.519
later today from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, carrying the

Starlink Internet Satellites mission. Space News and Weather Today uses

AI to gather, rather and narrate information from NASA and

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.560
spaceflight news sources around the world.
