Mt. Washington — The week of November 1–6 is the best time all year to begin each day under heaven's brightest stars and constellations — without waking up especially early. In morning darkness at 6 a.m. through dawn close to 7 o'clock, a view into the cosmos is ours.
Turning to the east-southeast, still in morning darkness and early twilight, locate an unobstructed view to the horizon. On November 1 and 2, a waning crescent moon is suspended above planet Mercury, which looks like a fairly bright star shining near the horizon.
Stargazing: Studying the possibility of Star Wars-like planets forming
Our solar system contains a single star, our sun. But about half the stars in the sky exist in binary star systems in which two stars orbit each other.
Although astronomers have discovered thousands of triple star systems, no circumtriple planetary orbit was known before now. Recently, astronomers studying the young triple star system GW Orionis detected a gap in the dust ring surrounding the stars.
Building planets from protoplanetary discs
CfA geologist Michail Petaev and his colleagues simulated the collapse of a molecular cloud core and the formation of the star, disk and planets, and analyzed the evolving distribution of temperatures across the disk to infer the mineral condensation sequence.
The research was publsihed in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society . Explore further
Clear skies make three planets and some familiar dippers visible this Halloween :: WRAL.com
As the Sun sets and neighborhood streets fill with vampires, princesses, and squid game soldiers, clear skies offer views of three planets and some familiar "asterisms"
Looking north, you'll find the big and little dippers. These are asterisms, portions of larger constellations.

You need to see the Solar System's weirdest planet shine at its brightest
The seventh planet from the Sun is the only plant named after a Greek god (the rest get their names from Roman mythology). And unlike the rest of the planets, Uranus spins almost entirely on its side.
This strange space denizen is usually a faint sparkle in Earth's night sky, but Uranus finally gets its chance to shine as it reaches the point of opposition — a special moment in its orbit of the Sun in relation to the Earth — on November 4 and November 5.
Scientists Find Strange Black "Superionic Ice" That Could Exist Deep Inside Other Planets
Everyone knows about ice, liquid, and vapor — but, depending on the conditions, water can actually form more than a dozen different structures. Scientists have now added a new phase to the list: superionic ice.
This type of ice forms at extremely high temperatures and pressures, such as those deep inside planets like Neptune and Uranus.
Role Of Different Planets In Horoscope

All even with a little knowledge of astrology would know that a horoscope consists of 12 houses and 9 planets as per Vedic Astrology. But then many people come to me asking which is the best house in horoscope and what is the role of different planets in horoscope?
Scientists Are Listening to Auroras From Other Stars to Find Hidden Exoplanets
On June 16, 2016, astronomers were listening to the whispers of a star 26 light years from Earth when they heard something peculiar.
Stars of all kinds emit an array of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves. But this star, GJ 1151, is pretty calm by stellar standards and not the sort you would expect to be casting out so much radio.
