The vast majority of stars have planets. We know that from observations of exoplanetary systems. We also know some stars don’t have planets, and perhaps they never had planets. This raises an interesting question. Suppose we see an old star that has no planets. How do we know if ever did?
‘Night Words’ for August: Five bright planets span the night sky from dusk to dawn, ...
Sunrise and Sunset Times (Eastern Daylight Time) — Sun rises at 6:00 am and sets at 8:16 pm on Aug. 1st; Sun rises at 6:28 am and sets at 7:36 pm on Aug. 31st.
As darkness falls on August evenings, the constellations of summer – and also a few left over from spring – begin to emerge from the glow of twilight. Facing north, the Big Dipper, a part of the spring constellation Ursa Major, is dipping into the northwest.
Planet 9 is Running out of Places to Hide - Universe Today
We have a pretty good idea of what lurks within our solar system. We know there isn’t a Mars-sized planet orbiting between Jupiter and Saturn, nor a brown dwarf nemesis heading our way. Anything large and fairly close to the Sun would be easily spotted.
Many astronomers have wondered about the existence of planets that might hide at the edge of our solar system, particularly when the power of our telescopes were fairly limited. But as large sky surveys started to scan the heavens they found nothing beyond asteroid-sized worlds.
Stellar Flybys Leave a Permanent Mark on Newly Forming Planetary Systems - Universe Today
What do UX Tauri, RW Aurigae, AS 205, Z CMajoris, and FU Orionis have in common? They’re young stellar systems with disks where planets could form. It appears those disks were disturbed by stellar flybys or other close encounters in the recent past.
Some answers lie in a study made by astronomer Nicolás Cuello of the University of Grenoble Alpes who heads a team that studies the role of stellar flybys. In a recent paper, they discuss the processes these systems undergo.
Astro Bob: August calendar of night-sky highlights - Duluth News Tribune | News, weather, and ...
August is a time of transition. After a long spell in the morning sky, Jupiter and Saturn become full-fledged evening planets that climb higher and become more obvious with each passing night. On Aug. 1, Saturn shines low in the southeastern sky at dusk, with Jupiter rising around 11 p.m.
The red planet Mars slowly brightens, gaining almost half a magnitude this month as it continues to rise earlier and earlier. On Aug. 1, it glows low in the northeastern sky starting around 1 a.m. local time. By month's end look for it closer to midnight.
The Outer Worlds 2 Doesn't Need To Compete With Starfield
Bethesda will take players into space with Starfield , and Obsidian Entertainment will be doing the same with The Outer Worlds 2 , but the two games need not compete. Both projects will inevitably invite comparisons due to their scale and sci-fi premise.
Starfield is shaping up to be a very Fallout -like game but set in space. Promising gameplay features such as ship and base building, space battles, and even full exploration of over 1000 planets has led to Starfield being compared to No Man's Sky .
How Outer Wilds Will Be Different On PS5, Xbox X/S, & Switch
Released back in 2019, Outer Wilds puts an emphasis on exploration as players attempt to prevent the solar system's destruction.
Outer Wilds , along with its Echoes of the Eye expansion, originally launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. However, the massive popularity of the unique sci-fi adventure has led Mobius Digital to bring it to other consoles too.
Scientists learn to spot alien worlds orbiting exotic stars | Space
A new technique could help astronomers detect exoplanets that orbit exotic binary star systems called cataclysmic variables.
Since the first discovery of an exoplanet , or a planet outside the solar system , in the 1990s , thousands of other planets have been found around other stars. However, most of these worlds orbit stars quite similar to the sun or small but active red dwarf stars.
SummerFest 36th Year Program Is 'Under the Influence' of World's Great Composers - Times of San ...
Now back for a 36th year, the fourth under Music Director Inon Barnatan , the 2022 edition of the La Jolla Music Society 's SummerFest is presented with the rubric "Under the Influence," highlighting great composers with their music performed by some of the globe's best musicians.
Neutrino Factories in Deep Outer Space: Elementary Particles From the Depths of Our Universe

For the first time, researchers reveal the origin of neutrinos, elementary particles that reach our planet from the depths of the Universe. Highly energetic and difficult to detect, neutrinos travel billions of light years before reaching Earth.
