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

3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>A total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, followed

4
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>by the per sed meteor shower's peak on the night

5
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of August twelve, thirteen. The new moon leaves dark skies,

6
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>with sixty eighty meteors per hour possible before dawn. Totality

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>lasts up to two minutes eighteen seconds. Near Iceland use

8
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 1>certified eclipse glasses. Saturn reaches opposition this month, its closest

9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and brightest of the year. Jupiter rises earlier each night,

10
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>dominating the late night sky. Maine ain't look west after

11
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>sunset to catch the thin crescent moon. It'll set early,

12
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 1>leaving the rest of the night nice and dark. The

13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Sun has been active lately, with several sunspot groups dotting

14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>its surface. Solar flares are possible over the next day

15
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>or two. For now, Aurora chances are moderate for those

16
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>in far northern latitudes. A small space rock named twenty

17
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>nineteen nine to n y two makes a close approach today.

18
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>It's several hundred feet across, passing about six lunar distances

19
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>from Earth. Scientists will be watching launch coming up tomorrow

20
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>along March seven A from Winchang Space launch Site, People's

21
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Republic of China operated by China. NASA's space weather trackers

22
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>also note a burst of solar material was seen on

23
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the northeast side of the Sun, moving at moderate speed.

<v Speaker 1>This episode was assembled using AI pulling from NASA and

25
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.239
