<v Speaker 1>Kalaruga Shark Media. Space weather is brought to you with

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the help of AI. The big sky event to watch

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>is August twelfth, a rare double header with a total

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>solar eclipse crossing Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain, followed that

5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>night by the peak of the pursed meteor shower from Reykiavik.

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Totality will last about sixty three seconds. Plan ahead and

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>use certified eclipse glasses. Saturn reaches opposition this month, its

8
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>closest and brightest of the year. Jupiter rises earlier each night,

9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>dominating the late night sky. The fading crescent Moon won't

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>appear until early morning, giving you dark skies all night long.

11
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>There are currently twelve astronauts aboard the International Space Station,

12
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>including Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chubb, and Tracy Caldwell Dyson. They

13
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>are traveling at over seventeen thousand miles per hour, watching

14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>sixteen sunrises every day. Asteroid Flyby Alert twenty nineteen n

15
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>y two, bigger than a sports stadium, passes about six

16
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>lunar distances from Earth in about four days. These close

17
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 1>approaches happen weekly. Astronomers track thousands of them. NASA's space

18
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>weather trackers also note a burst of solar material was

19
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 1>seen on the northeast side of the sun. Quick solar update.

20
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 1>The Sun is quite active with numerous sunspot groups visible.

21
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>That means a moderate chance of northern lights tonight for

22
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 1>those in northern latitudes. Look north after dark if skies

23
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>are clear. This episode was assembled using AI pulling from

24
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 1>NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Thanks for listening.
