Whispering from the Cosmos — March 28, 2026

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media Welcome to Sleep from space. Quick solar update. The sun is quite active with numerous sunspot groups visible. That means a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for those in northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies are clear. Something to ponder. The Voyager I spacecraft, launched in nineteen seventy seven, is now over fifteen billion miles from Earth and still sending data back. Two planets grace the evening tonight. Venus dazzles in the west just after sunset, while Mars glows orange higher in the sky. Both are visible for several hours. Asteroid twenty twenty six FG six, about the size of a small building, will fly past Earth tomorrow about one point eight lunar distances away. Completely safe, but a nice reminder of our busy solar system. Rocket Lab has an electron on the pad at Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand, set to fly later today. The four Artemis two astronauts arrived in Florida March twenty seventh for final preparations ahead of a launch still scheduled as soon as April first. The full moon dominates the sky tonight. It's not ideal for stargazing, but take a moment to admire the Moon's bright surface through binoculars. That's your space update,
