Have you seen that super bright star popping out in the low southeastern sky during evening twilight? That's no star but rather the big guy of our solar system, the planet Jupiter.
In late September, Jupiter reached what astronomers call opposition when it was only around 367 million miles away. In fact, it was the closest it's been to Earth since 1951! It's called opposition because Jupiter and the sun are at opposite ends of the sky, just like a full moon.
Homeowners Say It's Too Expensive to Go Solar. Can You Lower the Costs? - EcoWatch
Founded in 2005 as an Ohio-based environmental newspaper, EcoWatch is a digital platform dedicated to publishing quality, science-based content on environmental issues, causes, and solutions.
A recent study from EcoWatch of 1,000 homeowners found that solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular energy alternative in the U.S., mostly due to homeowners looking for ways to lower their utility bills amid rising electricity rates.

WASHINGTON, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Unlike the lonely sun, about half the stars in our Milky Way galaxy are in a long-term committed relationship with another star, orbiting each another in a celestial marriage called a binary system.
Researchers this week described one of these marriages gone wrong - a twosome that borders on the extreme, with the pair whirling around each other every 51 minutes in the fastest such orbital period known for a rare class of binary stars. As part of the drama, one star is eating its companion.
Wow! Sun shoots 1.6 million mile plasma plume, astronomer gets incredible photo | Tech News
The image was captured on September 24 by professional astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy, and was shared on Reddit on September 25 in the subreddit r/space. The photo is essentially a time-lapse image with false colour composite that stacks thousands of images over a six-hour period.
The photo shows the Sun's surface and CME in orange, which in reality looks pinkish red, and is known as hydrogen-alpha light. Due to the short exposure time of the images, it all appeared white and McCarthy had to add the orange colour to highlight the CME better.
Smart Photovoltaic Systems: Gas and climate crisis trigger photovoltaic-system boom in Spain - ...
EVERYONE seems to be talking about the climate crisis at the moment. There were devastating forest fires during the summer, practically all over Europe, due to a rise in temperatures this summer.
In addition, there is the gas crisis, triggered by the Ukraine war. Russian president Vladimir Putin has already turned off Europe's gas.

Scientists find new evidence of habitability on Saturn's moon Enceladus - SHINE News
Due to the absence of phosphorus, which is an indispensable component of bones, cell membranes and DNA in humans and animals, Enceladus was once considered uninhabitable by the international scientific community.
A team of international researchers led by Chinese scientists, has, however, contradicted the previous findings by claiming to have discovered phosphorus in the form of phosphates in the moon's ocean.
Could an asteroid destroy Earth? | Space
After dominating the Earth for more than 160 million years, the dinosaurs finally met their doom thanks to a visitor from space.
Toon is referring to the giant impact hypothesis — a scientific theory that suggests a Mars-size planet named Theia collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago, launching a salvo of rocky debris into space that eventually coalesced into our moon.
