Calaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Space news and
2
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:17.480
weather today. An unusually tight conjunction tonight, Mars passes just
3
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.960
a tenth of a degree from Uranus. Through a telescope,
4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.519
you can see both planets in the same field of view,
5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:29.760
fiery red Mars next to icy blue Uranus. The fading
6
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.880
crescent Moon won't appear until early morning, giving you dark
7
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.759
skies all night long. Look overhead for the summer triangle
8
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:43.200
three bright stars from three different constellations Vega, Denib and Altaire.

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.119
This asterism dominates the summer sky. SpaceX has a Falcon
10
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.560
nine on the pad at Cape Canaveral Space four station, Florida,
11
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.079
set to fly later today. The mission is called Starlink
12
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:01.280
Internet Satellites. The booster will attempt to drone ship landing
13
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.719
in the Atlantic. There is plenty of activity on the
14
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.599
Sun right now. Multiple sunspot regions are crackling with energy,
15
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.879
and solar flares could fire off at any time. Northern
16
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.200
lights chances remain moderate tonight for viewers in Canada and
17
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:22.640
the northernmost States. A small space rock name two thousand
18
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.879
seven AA two makes a close approach in about five days.
19
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.840
It's comparable to a large aircraft passing about seventeen lunar
20
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:38.519
distances from Earth, Scientists will be watching Aurora Australis. That's
