Astronomers now routinely discover planets orbiting stars outside of the solar system – they're called exoplanets.
Destruction of Saturn's Former Moon May Explain Planet's Tilt and Young Rings | American ...
Wreathed in concentric rings of icy debris, Saturn is one of the most iconic planets in our solar system. However, since their discovery nearly 400 years ago, the origin of Saturn's rings — their age and how they came to be — have remained largely a mystery.
Just how Saturn's rings could be so young has puzzled planetary scientists for decades.
Prepare for an excellent view of Jupiter as the gas giant nears earth
Since both the Earth and Jupiter do not orbit the sun in perfect circles, there are times when the planets pass each other at various distances.
Jupiter's opposition happens about once every 13 months, NASA explained, but its close approach to Earth at the same time is truly rare.

The authors assume planets with only Fe, Mg, Si, O, and H. However, as the abundances of elements remain unclear, they are taken as free parameters in the model. Only iron can react with water to form hydrogen and iron oxide.
James Webb Space Telescope captures its first pictures of Mars | New Scientist
"Now you can actually get these full images of the planet in the whole infrared range at incredible sensitivities," says Geronimo Villanueva at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
JWST's images show the eastern hemisphere of Mars in two different infrared wavelengths.
Exo-planeteers: Amateur astronomers invited to help confirm new worlds
In the past 20 years, scientists have confirmed more than 5,000 worlds outside our solar system, known as exoplanets.
In the Unistellar Exoplanet Campaign, a network of amateur astronomers will use Unistellar's eVscope or other telescopes to help confirm exoplanet candidates by NASA's TESS spacecraft, which stands for Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.
