00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>August twelfth, thirteen. The new moon leaves dark skies with

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>sixty eighty meteors per hour possible before dawn. Totality lasts

7
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>up to two minutes eighteen seconds. Near Iceland use certified

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>eclipse glasses. This is Saturn's best month. The ringed planet

9
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>is visible all night and at its brightest, Jupiter is

00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>crescent moon won't appear until early morning, giving you dark

<v Speaker 1>skies all night long. Rocket Launch Alert SpaceX is set

13
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to launch a Falcon nine in the next couple of

14

16
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>for solar observers. Lots of active sunspot regions right now,

17
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>which means the chance of solar flares stays elevated. Aurora

18
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>watchers in the far North might catch a faint glow

19
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:33.120

<v Speaker 1>two pieces of the same type of metal touch in

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the vacuum of space, they will permanently bond together through

22
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a process called cold welding. Asteroid Flyby Alert twenty nineteen

<v Speaker 1>six lunar distances from Earth in about three days. These

25
00:01:54.319 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>close approaches happen weekly. Astronomers track thousands of them. AI
