4 planets line up like ducks in a row in gorgeous night-sky image | Space
The moon led a parade of planets across the predawn sky last week. And Italian astrophysicist Gianluca Masi captured the celestial show in a gorgeous image shot from his balcony in Rome.
The night-sky photo is a precursor to a bigger planetary parade this summer, as Mercury will join the line-up in mid-June.

Hottest to coolest planets in our Solar System: Know interesting facts, composition
Let's have a look at the list of our solar system's warmest to coolest planets and learn some interesting facts about them.
The solar system and cosmology are vast subjects with a lot of fascinating information; the deeper you dig, the more revelations you will find.
Furthermore, the nature and content of the planets' atmospheres are influenced by two factors: how much heat is released by the planets and how much heat the planets absorb.
Don't miss Mercury shine with the crescent moon in tonight's sky! | Space
You can catch the two celestial bodies to the west, about 45 minutes after sunset, according to NASA . Mercury will be a full 10 degrees from the horizon, representing one of the last chances to see an evening planet with the naked eye until August.
The conjunction will also feature some bright stars , NASA noted. The red giant Aldebaran will appear just south of the moon at about the same brightness as Mercury, and the red giant star Betelgeuse will be farther away to the upper left of the grouping.
Fascinating animated video comparing Jupiter's size to other planets goes viral | Trending - ...
In the animated video he posted, one can see all the planets in the solar system labelled and in order of their size from smallest to biggest. The video also includes the star of our solar system, the Sun.
The caption posted along with the video reads, "Celestial objects to scale in size, rotation speed and tilt.
Gravity telescope to image exoplanets | Stanford News
A futuristic technique conceptualized by Stanford scientists could enable astronomical imaging far more advanced than any present today.
In the time since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, astronomers have detected more than 5,000 planets orbiting other stars. But when astronomers detect a new exoplanet, we don’t learn a lot about it: we know that it exists and a few features about it but the rest is a mystery.
Explainer: All about orbits | Science News for Students
Even in ancient times, stargazers knew that planets differed from stars. While stars always appeared in the same general place in the night sky, planets shifted their positions from night to night. They appeared to move across the backdrop of stars.
Then, in the 1600s, Johannes Kepler identified mathematical patterns in the planets' movements. Astronomers before him had known that the planets orbited , or moved around the sun. But Kepler was the first to describe those orbits — correctly — with math.

This spectacular cosmic maelstrom swirling around a young star is giving birth to a planet roughly nine times as massive as Jupiter — and also causing astronomers to rethink how planets form in the first place.
The system is AB Aurigae, roughly 530 light-years away, and the nascent planet is the hot, glowing mass at the bottom of the image. The central star has been masked out by the instrument that snapped the image in 2021 at the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope atop Maunakea in Hawaii.
Planet X: Everything you need to know about Planet X
Research has long suggested that stars like our Sun rarely occur individually. Usually, there are one or more sibling stars scattered nearby.
In research published by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society back in 2007, " Embedded binaries and their dense cores " was one of the first deep dives into whether the Sun ever had a twin.
