The closest encounter to the Sun so far predicted is the low-mass orange dwarf star Gliese 710 / HIP 89825 with roughly 60% the mass of the Sun. [4] It is currently predicted to pass 0.1696 ± 0.0065 ly (10 635 ± 500 au) from the Sun in 1.290 ± 0.04 million years from the present, close enough to significantly disturb the Solar System's Oort ...
After sharing a cosmic ‘kiss’ on Wednesday night, Jupiter and Venus will once again appear close together in the night’s sky on Thursday. The conjunction, which will be visible to the naked ...
These alignments have different names depending on the number of stars visible. Three planets constitutes a mini alignment. Four planets are a small alignment, which we saw during April 8’s eclipse.
Then on 28 February, seven planets will align in a spectacular configuration that will not occur again until the year 2492. How the planets appear looking south-southeast at 7pm in mid-January (Nasa)
The naked eye planets, which include Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, will not all become visible in Tennessee until around 5 a.m. Central Time, since Mercury and Jupiter are very low in the sky.
Though not visible to the naked eye, Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun at a distance of 4.24 ly (1.30 pc), slightly closer than α Centauri AB. Currently, the distance between Proxima Centauri and α Centauri AB is about 13,000 AU (0.21 ly), [17] equivalent to about 430 times the radius of Neptune's orbit.
The regions with higher density of stars are shown; these correspond with known star clusters (Hyades and Coma Berenices) and moving groups. This is a list of nearby stellar associations and moving groups. A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than an open cluster. A moving group is the remnant of such a stellar association ...
Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) aka "The Green Comet" is making its closest approach to the Earth today. The moon is bright tonight, making it difficult to find the comet with the naked eye. On Feb 10th ...
