<v Speaker 1>the help of AI. August Headline Sky event arrives August twelfth.

3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>A total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, followed

4
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 1>by the per sed meteor shower's peak on the night

5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of August twelfth, thirteen. The new moon leaves dark skies

6
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>with sixty eighty meteors per hour possible before dawn. Totality

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>lasts up to two minutes eighteen seconds. Near Iceland use

8
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 1>certified eclipse glasses. Both gas giants put on a show.

9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Saturn is at its yearly best, while Jupiter grows brighter

10
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and rises earlier each evening. No moon tonight means dark

11
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>skies all night long. This is prime time for spotting

12
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the Milky Way if you can get away from city lights.

13
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Haystack scientists study recent geospace storms and light shows. The

14
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Northern lights or Aurora Borealis, one of nature's most spectacular

15
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>visual shows, can be elusive. Conventional wisdom says that to

16
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>see them, we need to travel to northern Canada or Alaska.

17
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Launch coming up tomorrow a Falcon nine from Vandenberg Space

18
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>for Space California SpaceX is sending up Starlink Internet satellites.

19
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>One of the many asteroids in our neighborhood, twenty nineteen

20
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 1>n y two, swings by in the next couple of days.

21
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>At several hundred feet across, it'll pass about six lunar

22
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>distances from Earth. No threat, just a cosmic passerby. NASA's

23
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>space weather trackers also note a burst of solar material

24
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>was seen on the north side of the Sun. That's
