Growing up in the Bronx during the 1960s and '70s, one of my mentors in astronomy was Dr. Kenneth L. Franklin, Chairman and chief scientist at New York's Hayden Planetarium, who wrote about celestial events for the World Almanac and The New York Times.

Astronomers and Space Enthusiasts on Their Favorite Exoplanets - The New York Times
In January 1992, a pair of astronomers reported a discovery that changed the course of scientific history: They found planets outside our solar system.
The detection of the first confirmed exoplanets — the term for worlds that orbit other stars — validated dreamers who for centuries believed that "innumerable celestial bodies, stars, globes, suns and earths may be sensibly perceived therein by us," in the words of the Renaissance polymath ...

Dwarf planet Ceres may be located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but its composition and large water content suggest it formed in the outer solar system where other dwarf planets orbit.
Why Mercury could be encrusted with diamonds - Big Think
Last month at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in the Woodlands, Texas, Dr. Kevin Cannon of Colorado School of Mines presented surprising details on the composition of the planet Mercury.
The story of Mercury's unique composition began when Mercury first formed. As with many rocky planets, the crust of Mercury formed by crystallizing out of a magma ocean.
