00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Calaroga Shark Media. Good morning. This is space news and

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>weather Today. The ringed planet Saturn reaches peak visibility this month.

3
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Jupiter follows behind, rising around midnight and offering spectacular views

4
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>before sunrise. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset and stays

5
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>bright all night, washing out fainter stars but offering beautiful

6
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 1>views of lunar craters and Maria. The iconic Summer Triangle

7
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 1>rules the sky overhead. These three stars, Vega, Deneb, and

8
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 1>altare are visible all night and serve as a guide

9
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>to the fainter summer constellations. The Sun has been active lately,

10
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 1>with several sunspot groups dotting its surface. Solar flares are

11
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>possible over the next day or two. For now, aura

12
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>chances are moderate for those in far northern latitudes. Tides

13
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>are at their most extreme this week, as the Moon

14
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>and Sun combine their gravitational pull. Coastal communities see their

15
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>highest and lowest water levels. NASA's space weather trackers also

16
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>note a burst of solar material was seen on the

17
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>southeast side of the Sun, moving at moderate speed. NASA

18
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Maven mission scientists have uncovered a key puzzle piece in

19
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>understanding certain types of auroras on Mars, finding that they

20
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>form in a similar way to Earth based auroras. Results

21
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>published Thursday in Nature Communications show the same mechanism that

22
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>circulates in catapults charged particles into Earth's atmosphere is happening

23
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 1>at This episode was assembled using AI pulling from NASA

24
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 1>and Spaceflight News sources. Thanks for listening.
