Bakersfield College and the local K-12 school districts are on spring break this week. I sure need it and am planning to enjoy it.
Take this time off to pick up tickets for upcoming planetarium shows. "Black Holes" will take place April 13 and "Ice Worlds" will be held April 20. Tickets are available at bakersfieldcollege.edu/planetarium .
Study: No Atmosphere Found on Nearby Earth-sized World
The Webb Space Telescope has found no evidence of an atmosphere on one of the seven rocky, Earth-sized planets orbiting a nearby star.
The planets orbit a star forming a system known as TRAPPIST-1 after the telescope that identified the planets. It is rare that seven planets about the size of our Earth would orbit the same star. Three of those planets are in the star's habitable zone.

Venus (the hottest) and Uranus (the coldest) will share the same right ascension — the celestial equivalent of longitude — as both the weekend and April approach, with Venus passing just to the north of Uranus in the sky.
