Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024), first spotted in April, is expected to be so vibrant that it will rival the brightness of Venus in the night sky .
Because planets always appear in a line, the alignment isn't anything out of the norm. What's less common is seeing so many bright planets at once.
Skies over South Carolina kick off 2025 with a planet parade, ancient comet and the muse of "Beyond Antares," a 23rd-century love song from "Star Trek" fame.
Learn what this survey recorded of exocomet belts, which imaged and identified bands of every size.
A celestial body recently discovered by a Chinese observatory has been confirmed as a comet by the International Astronomical Union IAU Astronomers
The comet has been hurtling through space for thousands of years and won’t pass by Earth again until year 162025
Throughout January, stargazers in India can witness a spectacular planetary parade featuring Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn in a gi
The case of mistaken identity was quickly resolved, but astronomers say it shows the need for transparency around craft in deep space.
The planet parade refers to when planets form a relatively straight line across the night sky. While they aren’t exactly in a straight line, and are, in reality, millions of kilometres apart in space, they appear relatively close from Earth. Each planetary parade can involve up to all the planets. In January 2025, the planet parade will involve:
Study reveals an interstellar object's impact on planetary orbits, reshaping solar system dynamics. Discover how simulations explain deviations in outer planets’ paths billions of years ago.
A new study, currently under review for publication, suggests that an ancient cosmic visitor might have significantly altered the orbits of our solar system's giant planets. Scientists propose that this interstellar object,
