13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>NASA's space weather trackers also note a burst of solar

<v Speaker 1>material was seen on the northeast side of the Sun,

15
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 1>moving at moderate speed. There is plenty of activity on

16
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the Sun right now. Multiple sunspot regions are crackling with energy,

17
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and solar flares could fire off at any time. Northern

18
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.159

<v Speaker 1>n y two passes Earth tomorrow about six lunar distances

23
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 1>from Earth. It's larger than a football field. Harmless but

24
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 1>fun to track. This episode was assembled using AI pulling
