Five of the planets in our solar system will appear in a line across the early morning sky this month, astronomers say. It's a sky spectacle that won't be seen again for nearly 20 years.
The parade of planets will be best seen about 45-60 minutes before sunrise on cloud-free mornings through then.
Jupiter ate other baby planets to grow up big and strong
The reason why Jupiter’s mass is twice as much as every other planet in our solar system combined might be pretty simple.
A new study, using data from NASA’s Juno mission, aims to learn more about Jupiter’s origins, as the recent investigation revealed that its mysterious core is even more massive than previous models had predicted it would be.
New analysis of Mars meteorite could change theory of how planets form | The Independent
A new analysis of an old meteorite from Mars ' interior contradicts a common assumption about how rocky planets like the Earth, Venus, and Mars acquire elements such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Until now, the basic belief was that planets acquired these elements, as well as noble gases like helium, from the nebula around a young star, Sandrine Péron from the University of California (UC) - Davis, said in a statement.

Nothing fancy, he said. Norris could see the moon much better. He could make out the craters. He could tell Jupiter and Saturn were not stars. "It piqued my curiosity about astronomy," he said.
Norris finished college during the early 1980s, bought a new telescope and tried photographing objects in the night sky. First, he used black-and-white film. He set up a darkroom. Later, that photography expanded into color.
Astronomers discover nearby multiplanet system with two Earth-like planets | Technology News,The ...
A new multiplanet system has been discovered within our galactic neighbourhood. It is just 33 light-years away from our planet. This makes it one of the closest multi-planet systems to our own. A small and cool M-dwarf star called HD 2655 lies at the heart of the system.
The astronomers who made the discovery found that the system hosts two terrestrial planets with sizes close to that of Earth. However, these planets are likely inhabitable since they orbit too close to the star.
The Sky This Week from June 17 to 24 | Astronomy.com
Friday, June 17
Comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) is now around mid-9th magnitude and brightening, according to the Comet Observation database .
And tonight, there’s an added bonus: Some 1.5° due west of the comet is IC 4665, a 4th-magnitude open star cluster that spans roughly 40' on the sky. It’s a picture-perfect view for astrophotographers looking to capture the comet near a stunning partner.

Use this illustration to locate the five naked-eye planets between June 18 and June 27. The moon will help pinpoint each planet on the mornings it appears closest to each planet. Because Mercury and Venus are nearby planets, their positions change quickly.
This illustration shows the positions of the five naked eye planets between June 18 and June 27 from a location above the north pole of the sun. The orbits of these planets are drawn to show their respective sizes and the separations between them and the sun.
Rare 5-planet alignment comes into better view this week. Here's what to expect. https://t.co/MjCJKpbLO4 https://t.co/oIPtfb7oj6 SPACEdotcom (from NYC) Thu Jun 16 21:47:50 +0000 2022
