Venus and Jupiter are the two brightest planets visible from Earth. And – throughout February 2023 and into March – you can easily spot dazzling Venus and bold Jupiter near each other in the west after sunset. Venus is the brighter world.
At their closest, on March 1, 2023, Venus will pass 0.5 degrees (the width of a full moon) from Jupiter on the sky’s dome. Stunning sight!
'Impossible' New Ring System Discovered at the Edge of the Solar System - Scientific ...
Astronomers have discovered an entirely new ring system within the solar system , and it's located at such a great distance from its dwarf planet parent that it should be impossible.
The ring surrounds Quaoar, which is around half the size of Pluto and located beyond Neptune .
EarthSky | Saturn's moon Mimas might have an ocean
Ocean worlds are common in our solar system. There’s Earth, of course. But scientists also know or suspect that some dwarf planets , and moons of major planets, have subsurface oceans hidden beneath crusts of ice.
Researchers at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Purdue University said their new study suggests Mimas might represent a new class of objects: small, “stealth” ocean worlds. That is, they’re worlds whose surfaces don’t betray their inner oceans.
12 new moons of Jupiter were discovered, bringing the total to 92 and beating Saturn | BGR
In 2019, Saturn pushed ahead of Jupiter as the planet with the most moons in our solar system. Now, however, Jupiter’s moon count has been revised thanks to the discovery of 12 new moons , bringing it back above Saturn’s total of 83 with a new grand total of 92 moons.
AI can be used to find planets outside of our solar system, new study reveals | Technology
A recent study carried out by researchers at the University of Georgia reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to find exoplanets - planets outside of our solar system - reshaping the way scientists detect and identify new planets very far from Earth.
Scientists face challenges in detecting exoplanets at their formation stage due to their distance (hundreds of light-years away) and thick surrounding discs of gas and dust (thicker than Earth to Sun distance).
