Heads up for asteroid fans. Twenty eighteen. Ge passes Earth

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.960
in about five days, about sixteen lunar distances from Earth.
4
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.359
It's about the size of a small building, harmless but
5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:30.600
fun to track. New observations of Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede,
6
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.119
reveal that its auroras share detailed structural similarities with auroras
7
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.119
on Earth, suggesting that the physical processes that generate these
8
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.359
lights may be universal across different types of celestial bodies.

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.679
Rocket Launch Alert SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon
10
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.560
nine tomorrow from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, carrying
11
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:01.359
the Starlink Internet Satellites mission. Saturn rise before midnight, now
12
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:07.239
its famous rings visible through even small telescopes. Jupiter follows
13
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.359
in the early morning hours, preparing for its summer appearance.
14
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.599
Venus and Jupiter will meet in a dazzling conjunction on
15
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.879
June ninth, the two brightest planets side by side. Fun fact,
16
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.760
there are more stars in the universe than grains of
17
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:29.040
sand on all of Earth's beaches, roughly ten sextillion stars
18
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.480
dark skies tonight, the Moon won't rise until the early
19
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.040
morning hours, leaving plenty of time for stargazing after sunset.
