Dust Models Paint Alien's View Of Solar SystemGreenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2010 New supercomputer simulations tracking the interactions of thousands of dust grains show what the solar system might look like to alien astronomers searching for planets. The models also provide a glimpse of how this view might have changed as our planetary system matured. "The planets may be too dim to detect directly, but aliens studying the solar system could easily determine the presence of Neptune - its gravity carves a little gap in the dust," said Marc Kuchner, an astrophysicist at NASA's G ... read more |

Earth To Have Closest Encounter With Jupiter Until 2022Huntsville AL (SPX) Sep 21, 2010 Been outside at midnight lately? There's something you really need to see. Jupiter is approaching Earth for the closest encounter between the two planets in more than a decade--and it is dazzling. The night of closest approach is Sept. 20-21st. This is also called "the night of opposition" because Jupiter will be opposite the sun, rising at sunset and soaring overhead at midnight. Among all denizens of the midnight sky, only the moon itself will be brighter. Earth-Jupiter encounters happen e ... read more |
