While last-minute holiday shopping or enjoying outdoor light displays this week, take a moment to look up at the sky to witness a series of potentially breathtaking celestial events as December comes to a close.
Five planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn — are expected to be visible at the same time briefly in the evening from Friday through New Year's Eve.
The James Webb telescope gets glimpses of small, far-off planets
BALTIMORE — When the James Webb Space Telescope was first dreamed up, exoplanets hadn't even been discovered yet. Now the observatory is showing astronomers what it can learn about planets orbiting other stars — including the small ones.
These early peeks at far-off worlds don't yet reveal a lot about these remote locales. But researchers are buoyed by what JWST's sharp vision in infrared wavelengths could eventually unearth about the smaller planets beyond our solar system.
Are planets tidally locked to red dwarfs habitable? It's complicated
The confusion between the terms red dwarf and M-dwarf stems from temperature and mass. One definition of a red dwarf is synonymous with an M-dwarf, based on a maximum temperature of 3,900 K and a maximum mass of 0.6 solar masses.
Another definition of a red dwarf includes hotter stars with a maximum temperature of 5,200 K and a maximum mass of 0.8 solar masses. This definition includes all K-type main-sequence stars, which are also called K-dwarfs.
How Many Planets Are In The Milky Way? - WorldAtlas
It would take far too long to observe every star in the Milky Way and confirm the existence of every individual planet. A task such as this would simply be impossible, and so astronomers rely on estimates based on what is currently known.
Our solar system contains one star and eight planets. The number of planets in our solar system significantly outnumbers the number of stars. If every solar system contained more planets than stars, then the number of planets in our galaxy would vastly outnumber the stars.
Starfield’s planets might have multiple biomes and environments | The Loadout
For the most part, when it comes to sci-fi franchises and their fictional planets, every single one has it’s own biome.
“In Starfield, ogni pianeta avrà biomi unici. La flora e la fauna che troverai saranno un riflesso delle sue caratteristiche.”
Every Sith Planet In Star Wars Canon
The Sith have a storied history in Star Wars canon, including an array of dark side planets across the galaxy. Perhaps the most prominently featured Sith planet in the franchise is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 's Exegol, a dim desert planet in the Unknown Regions.
While the Sith has an illustrious backstory and many associated planets in Star Wars Legends, only those that have been addressed in the new Star Wars canon will be featured, although planet details from the Expanded Universe will be mentioned in some instances.
Team of physicists suggests LIGO could be used to detect giant alien spacecraft
The problem, now referred to as the Fermi paradox, is that scientists have yet to find even the tiniest shred of evidence for it. Prominent scientists have increasingly begun calling for new and more exotic ways to search.
In this new effort, the researchers note that science has advanced to the point that gravity waves can be detected by technology such as LIGO.

media release: The people of Earth are once again about to partake in their traditional celebration of some arbitrary point in space around their Class G star System. We aboard the Spaceship find this quaint when we get the chance to observe these rituals in the wild.
The notion of days and years do not exist where we are from. Though they are something we tend to learn about early on in our stage 2 developmental studies. We learned that solar systems way out in galactic arms, far from their centers, tend to develop more stable gravitational planes.
