Determining Janssen's path around Copernicus could reveal much about the planet's history, but making such measurements is incredibly hard. Astronomers have studied Janssen by measuring the dip in Copernicus' brightness every time the planet comes between the star and Earth.
Heads up stargazers: Enjoy 5 planets and a meteor shower all in 1 week | WSAV-TV
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — This week we get to enjoy not only five (yes five!) planets in our night’s sky all at once, we also get see the Geminids meteor shower. While we are dealing with a mostly cloudy sky right now, the sky will clear through the night.
We typically get to enjoy one or two planets at once in our night sky throughout the year. It is unique for us to see five planets in our sky all at once: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. It is a treat we get to enjoy this evening through the end of the month.
Seeing the Inner Planets at Dusk, by Dennis Mammana | Creators Syndicate
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. Venus is shrouded by a thick cloudy atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide gas that acts like a blanket and holds in heat.
Newly Found Light Around Our Solar System Is Pollution From Comets Caught In Sunbeams, Say ...
This artist's illustration shows the location and size of a hypothetical cloud of dust surrounding ... [+] our solar system.
Our solar system glows on the inside. Get yourself somewhere truly dark in spring in the northern hemisphere and about an hour after sunset—just above where the sun has recently set—and you'll see a triangular glow.

How Long Does It Take Sunlight To Reach Earth? - WorldAtlas
Light is the fastest known thing in the universe, and the speed of light represents a kind of cosmic speed limit that, as far as the laws of nature suggest, cannot be surpassed. The speed of light is approximately 186,000-miles per second (300,000-kilometres per second).
The Earth orbits the sun at an average distance of 93-million miles (150-million kilometres). At this distance, there is a noticeable delay in when light emitted by the sun reaches our world.
