Five planets are going to be retrograde in the summer of 2024. Here are the dates for Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde, Neptune retrograde, Pluto retrograde and more.
In search-for-life-on-other-planets news, a study published this week in the journal Nature Astronomy revealed evidence of a magnetic field on the rocky exoplanet YZ Ceti b, which orbits a star ...
Planet nine may be orbiting far from the Sun, at the edge of our solar system. Astronomers, seeing odd irregularities in the orbits of the outer planets suspect another, unknown, planet may orbit ...
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit. It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points). A craft is deemed "active" if it is still able to ...
Just beyond the reach of charged particles from our Sun (which is, in some ways, the edge of our solar system), the Voyager spacecraft have witnessed a previously-unseen phenomenon for the first time.
Dwarf planet 90377 Sedna will reach its perihelion of 76 AU from the Sun. [34] 2079 August 11 Mercury occults Mars, the first since at least 1708. [31] 2083 A star system known as "V Sagittae" is expected to go nova this year (+/- 11 years). 2084 November 10 Transit of Earth as seen from Mars, the first and the only one in this century. 2085 ...
The researchers hope the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which became operational last year, can provide answers about these six planets and sub-Neptunes in general.
