A fresh count of exoplanets floating through space has surpassed the 5,000 mark, with NASA confirming the latest batch of planets outside the immediate solar family.
As of March 21, NASA added 65 exoplanets, with astronomers now able to confirm there are more than 5,000 exoplanets — and counting. Exoplanets are defined as any planet beyond our solar system.
Where Did the Ice Giant Planets Form? - Sky & Telescope - Sky & Telescope
Conventional planet formation scenarios have Neptune and Uranus forming closer to the Sun. But a new study shows that the ice giant planets could have formed right where they are now.
The two ice giants are probably the most enigmatic planets in the solar system. Their distances (20 and 30 times the Earth's distance from the Sun, respectively) and unique mass regime (between that of the gas giants and the terrestrial planets) challenge the models.

Planetary and moon viewing to be held in Fayetteville NC
If we're looking to gaze at the bright planets as soon as darkness falls this spring, we're out of luck.
Planets Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter are all now in our eastern sky at dawn. That leaves only dim and distant Uranus and a brief appearance by Mercury in our spring evening sky.
Top Cow's Battle of the Planets Comic Ended With a Ridiculous Cliffhanger
Welcome to the 12th installment of Nostalgia Snake, a look at 2000s revivals of 1980s properties, revivals now so old they're also quite nostalgic. (Hence the snake of nostalgia eating itself.) And if you have any suggestions for the future, let me hear them. Just contact me on Twitter .
Following a teaser issue that introduced a new antagonist to the G-Force team -- an army general named Tomak who believes a team of teenage ninjas aren't the planet's best line of defense -- a monthly series followed.
Mainers Will See A Parade of Planets Line Up In the Sky In April
Look to the skies in the coming weeks as we get to witness a great aligning of major celestial bodies on our horizon.
In 2011 we saw four planets align - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. This time around we'll get to witness the moon be part of the parade, as well.
The Long Goodbye to Saturn's Rings - The Atlantic
Of all the planets in our solar system, Saturn might be the prettiest. Those rings! Strand after strand of icy material with just a hint of rock, arranged in a delicate halo. Up close, the rings gleam in soft pinks, grays, and browns, shimmering in the darkness.
The rings are losing material every year. Incoming micrometeorites and the sun's radiation disturb the small, dusty pieces of ring matter, electrifying them. The particles, suddenly transformed, become attuned to Saturn's magnetic field lines and start spiraling along those invisible paths.
