What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: ll.thespacedevs.com.

  1. Dr. Nina BytePer NOAA, three point six seven is the highest it gets, and the scale runs zero to nine. Storm level starts at five Eastern.

  2. Brock ThundersonSo it's close to a storm.

  3. Dr. Nina ByteIt's below one. At that level the northern lights show only near the Arctic Circle, if at all.

  4. Dr. Nina ByteAnd the forecast stays at three point six seven for three days.

  5. Brock ThundersonIf at all. I've bought a flask for the Arctic Circle in my head and now I have to return it.

  6. Dr. Nina ByteThen the Moon. It's a waxing gibbous, about ninety-five percent lit, per the U.S. Naval Observatory.

  7. Dr. Nina ByteFull Moon arrives at twelve-twelve AM Eastern on Monday, October twenty-sixth.

  8. Brock ThundersonNinety-five percent. That's a floodlight with an opinion on my garden.

  9. Dr. Nina ByteThe Orionids peaked around Wednesday, October twenty-first. Twenty an hour at best, under a perfectly dark sky, and the debris comes from Halley's Comet.

  10. Brock ThundersonHalley's Comet. Twenty an hour. With that Moon, I'll see two and name them both.

  11. Dr. Nina ByteWhat you can actually do is go outside and look up.

  12. Dr. Nina ByteStarlink Group fifteen-sixteen, twenty-seven satellites, launches from Vandenberg at twelve forty-five AM Eastern on Tuesday, October twenty-seventh.

  13. Brock ThundersonRight.

  14. Brock ThundersonSaturday night, me, a flask, and a Moon bright enough to show I came alone.
