It's always fun to ask stargazers why they believe that, if Mercury is the closest planet to the sun , it's not also the hottest of our solar system . That honor belongs to Venus , nearly twice as far from the searing heat of our star. The reason, of course, is rather simple.
Solar eclipse, meteor showers, planets coming to sky near you in 2023
Mars is still shining brightly in the eastern sky after dark. And after sunset on Jan. 3, the Red Planet will be only 2-3 degrees from the waxing gibbous moon. When you have two space objects near each other, astronomers call that a conjunction.
On Jan. 22, the planets Venus and Saturn will only be about 1/3 of a degree apart – so close together that you may be able to see them both at the same time through a telescope. On Jan. 25, the crescent moon will be in conjunction with the giant planet Jupiter.

Skywatch: The superhighway of the heavens – Twin Cities
We're getting a great gift in our skies this holiday season. Three bright planets decorate our evening skies; Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. We also have some nice celestial conjunctions or what I call celestial huggings between the moon and planets.
Every month there are at least one or two conjunctions or celestial huggings. These frequent conjunctions happen because of the ecliptic, the superhighway of the planets in our skies. Planets are wanderers, moving among the stars from night to night and year to year.
Two 'habitable' Earth-like worlds found orbiting star not far from Solar System
Our galaxy might be full of habitable worlds just like our own, after astronomers spotted another two Earth-like planets in the 'habitable zone' in a star not far from Earth.
Both of the planets are in the habitable zone of their star (where the temperature is at a level where liquid water could exist.
