The early evening eastern sky has had an absence of bright planets since Mars appeared in that part of the sky in November. Finally, a bright light appears in the southeast shortly before 10 p.m. and by the end of the month it will have already climbed above the horizon when twilight darkens.
Two red objects between Mars and Jupiter may explain how the solar system formed | Engadget
If Pompeja and Justitia truly were transplants from beyond Nepture, then they'd serve as evidence for the hypothesis that a fraction of the asteroids between Jupiter and Mars came from the Kuiper belt.
Of course, more observations and evidence are needed to be able to prove that the two objects are from the Kuiper belt.
The Solar System: Our Summer Solstice Is Not Dependable
Our solar system is messed up. The Earth wobbles on its axis. The Moon doesn't spin. The circling of Earth around the Sun is nearer the Sun sometimes and farther away at other times. So sometimes the Earth's surface is cold and other times it's hot. What a rickety operation the solar system is.
A New Plan to Search for Extraterrestrial Artifacts at Earth and Across the Solar System -
On October 19th, 2017 , astronomers made the first-ever detection of an interstellar object (ISO) in our Solar System. This body, named 1I/2017 U1 (‘Oumuamua), was spotted shortly after it flew by Earth on its way to the outer Solar System.
Roughly three years later, interest in extraterrestrial visitors has not subsided, in part because of the release of the Pentagon report on the existence of “ Unidentified Aerial Phenomena .
'Sun Fart?': NASA's Review of Solar System Has the Cosmos Lovers Confused
NASA's science encyclopedia of deep space exploration is loaded with mysterious and fascinating observations of the Sun. Over the years, technology has advanced, and it is possible for scientists to unveil a bit of that enigma.
Dropping the video on their Instagram, the space agency in the caption shared its review on the 'one star' of the solar system. In the next few lines, NASA shared information about the CME whose footage it had shared in the clip.

Massive comet discovery dwarfs all others | News | henryherald.com
In our solar system, comets are the icy leftovers from when the sun and planets formed. They hold the mysteries of that primordial soup.
New opportunities and research techniques are allowing us to peer into the past and answer questions originating from times so distant that they are difficult to fathom.
SKYWATCH: Viewing the planets a treat in August | Local Education | qctimes.com
This August will be an excellent opportunity for anyone wanting to observe the planets, all eight of which will be visible sometime during the month.
In early August, just after sunset, look to the southwest and you will find Venus, Mercury and Mars. Venus, being very bright, is the easiest to spot, and can then be used as a guide to find Mars and Mercury, which will be very low in the twilight.
Fact check: Mega comet won't pass Earth until 2031, no risk of impact
The tremendous mass of ice, rock and space dust – named Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein after its discoverers Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein of the University of Pennsylvania – is definitely real. But contrary to what the posts claim, it didn't just enter our solar system.
The mega comet likely started its journey from this part of space about 3.7 trillion miles away from the sun.
