00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:32.030
The Great Square is easy to spot. Four moderately bright stars...

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:37.140
forming a perfect landmark for navigating the fall constellations. A

00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.140
launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, sending up the

00:01:13.099 --> 00:01:15.659
That means a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for

17
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:19.480
those in northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies

18
00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:24.599
are clear. NASA's space weather trackers also note a burst

19
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.689
of solar material was seen leaving the sun. AI helped
