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.
2022, December 29: Evening Planets, Mercury Retrogrades
December 29, 2022: The evening planet display is ending as Mercury begins to retrograde and fade in brightness. Look for Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Moon, and Mars after sundown.

Starfield Could Have Had "Way More" Than 1,000 Planets
2023's video game calendar is already looking very crowded and the new year is still a month away. One of the bigger titles launching next year will be Starfield .
The reveal that the 1,000-planet-strong game could have had even more worlds to explore was made by Bethesda 's Todd Howard during an interview with Lex Fridman (via ResetEra ). Howard admitted that there could have been way more than 1,000 planets in Starfield.

James Webb Space Telescope uncovers chemical secrets of distant world—paving the way for studying ...
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.
A mysterious Planet X beyond Pluto in our solar system? Check awesome TRUTH | Tech News
Until about the 18th century, we only knew about the existence of six planets in our solar system. Anything beyond Saturn was too far to be seen with the unaided eye or a basic telescope. Uranus was later discovered in 1781 and later in 1846 Neptune was also found.
The reason many scientists believed that Planet X or Planet Nine must exist is because of similar perturbations while observing Neptune or Pluto. In effect, this mysterious Planet X is believed to have been disturbing the orbits of other planets.
A space geologist's Reddit Ask Me Anything session totally rocked. Here's why
Meet Dr. Gretchen Benedix, a cosmic mineralogist and astrogeologist who has the coolest job - studying space rocks.
A professor at Curtin University, Benedix uses the chemistry, mineralogy, and spectroscopy of meteorites to understand the formation and evolution of asteroids and planets.
The Planets - Yalana Rameshwaran - Tiffin Girls' School | This Is Local London
On Saturday, the 15th of October 2022, I performed alongside the West London Sinfonia with the Tiffin Girls' School Senior Choir. There were four main pieces of repertoire, my favourite being 'The Planets' by Gustav Holst.
Gustav Holst, a famous English composer, was most known for composing 'The Planets'. 'The Planets' comprises seven separate pieces: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune respectively.
