3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.980
<v Speaker 1>is a deep partial lunar eclipse on August 27th. About

4
00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:23.300
<v Speaker 1>96% of the moon enters Earth's shadow. In the U.S.,

5
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.660
<v Speaker 1>the eclipse begins at 10.33 p.m. Eastern Time and peaks

6
00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:32.170
<v Speaker 1>at 12.13 a.m. Look for the orange-shadowed moon after dark.

<v Speaker 1>Saturn reaches opposition this month, its closest and brightest of

15
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.579
<v Speaker 1>is plenty of activity on the sun right now. Multiple

16
00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:20.099
<v Speaker 1>sunspot regions are crackling with energy, and solar flares could

17
00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:24.469
<v Speaker 1>fire off at any time. Northern lights chances remain moderate

19
00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:34.829
<v Speaker 1>asteroid called 2017 RH16 is passing by in about five days.

20
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:38.450
<v Speaker 1>It's about 30 to 50 feet across, passing about eight

21
00:01:38.530 --> 00:01:42.340
<v Speaker 1>lunar distances from Earth. No danger, just a cosmic neighbor

22
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:48.659
<v Speaker 1>dropping by. NASA space weather trackers also note a burst

23
00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.459
<v Speaker 1>of solar material was seen on the northwest side of

24
00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:57.329
<v Speaker 1>the sun moving at moderate speed. Today's report was compiled
