This week it's all about planets. A planet's opposition describes the point in its orbit when Earth is between it and the Sun. At that point the planet is, much like a full Moon, fully lit by the Sun as seen by us on Earth.
Saturn, and most recently, Jupiter, have been at opposition already in 2022. Now it's the turn of Mars, which reaches opposition next week. However, for all intents and purposes Mars is now at its brightest and best since its last opposition 26 months ago.
Fact check: False claim warming similar on Earth, other planets
However, some social media users are sharing a post that implies humans are not responsible for this warming, positing instead that Earth is being warmed by a force also causing purported warming on other planets.
Additional conclusive systematic measurements would be necessary to detect a global temperature change since that time, he said.

Many exoplanets are too close to their parent stars for even this powerful telescope to distinguish them. But we can use the trick of watching as the planet passes in front of (transits) its star.
Gases within the atmosphere absorb some of the light—leaving fingerprints on the starlight in the form of a reduction in brightness at certain colors, or wavelengths. JWST is particularly suited to exoplanet atmosphere studies because it is an infrared telescope.

Planets form at same time as stars, Cambridge-led study finds
Planet formation in our young solar system began much earlier than thought, astronomers have learned.
The University of Cambridge-led team found the building blocks of planets such as Jupiter and Saturn grow at the same time as their parent star.
It had been thought that they only form once a star has reached its final size, but a new study that explored the atmospheres of white dwarf stars – ancient, faint remnants of stars like our Sun – has changed our understanding.
Deconstructing Navagraha: Did ancient astrologers know about ‘9 planets’? | Times Now
People tend to conflate Navagraha with the pre-Pluto-declassification planetary count of our solar system. Some even claim that ancient Indian astrologers knew about the 9 planets long before others found out. But it couldn't be further from the truth.
It's reasonable to assume that 'graha' in Navagraha refers to the 9 planets. But Navagraha, in Vedic astrology, denotes the 9 heavenly bodies which influence the existence of those who believe in it.

The study of exoplanets , or planets orbiting stars other than our Sun, has been an exciting field of astronomy ever since the first exoplanet was discovered orbiting a type of neutron star called a pulsar .

The night sky in 2023 will boast an incredible schedule of celestial wonders for stargazers to enjoy. Several of the brightest planets will not only engage in eye-catching close encounters with one another, they will also move across some of the sky's most spectacular star clusters.
Within an hour or so after sunset on January 23, watch the stunning glow from the whisker-thin crescent moon pop into view in the southwestern sky. Just below will be two bright planets: Venus and Saturn.
