Make stars are born

Astronomers have calculated that the birth of planets around young stars can occur even at a later stage than previously considered. In the study of the properties of star TW Hydra found strong evidence. This star is at a distance of 176 light-years from Earth, refers to the spectral type K8 and attracts the surrounding gas and dust astronomers drive. A few years ago, close to the TW Hydra was discovered planet, which weighs slightly larger than Jupiter.

The presence of massive extrasolar planets around star Fomalhaut

Nearest star Fomalhaut has a massive exoplanet, reported NASA scientists after the second study using space telescope "Hubble".

Back in 2008, astronomers announced that they had discovered a planet called Fomalhaut B and shrouded in dust orbiting star Fomalhaut at a distance of 25 light years from Earth.

The planets can form in the Galactic Center

Due to the insensitive environmental conditions, the planets could not form near the galactic center. However, new research conducted by astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows that it is possible to form planets in these vortices cosmic.

                               

As evidence point to the recent discovery of a cloud of hydrogen and helium galactic heading downtown. They argue that this cloud represents the remains of a shattered protoplanetary disk orbiting a star invisible.

Planets in September 2012

While Saturn’s visibility in the evening sky ended, escapes Mars just barely the bright sunlight and remain inconspicuous in the dusk. Jupiter Sunrise's premature to late evening hours. Until the rising of Venus at 3 clock the gas giant Jupiter is the brightest star-like object in the sky. Venus reached in September, the highest level in the dawn of the morning current visibility and dominates the morning sky as a very bright “morning star ".

A new technique to explore the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system

'Tau Bootis b' was one of the first exoplanets discovered in the 90's. Fifteen years later, remains one of the closest known and given that it already has confirmed the existence of 750 planets outside our solar system, which number about 2,000 applicants to join the list.

'Tau Bootis b' is a big 'hot Jupiter' orbiting close to its host star. Although its host star is easily visible, so far this planet could only be detected by its gravitational effects on the star.

how to observe the planets of our solar system

The planets of our solar system are on tomes some of the most rewarding and simplest sky watching targets to spot, if you know when and where to look. Here's a look at how to observe the planets of the solar system in 2011. Some have worlds of their own.

Astronomer’s measure distances in the sky in terms of degrees. For reference, your clenched fist held at arm's length covers about 10 degrees of the night sky.

Detection a new type of planets 'solitary'

An international team of astronomers has exposed a new type of planets that emerge to float alone in space. It is dark ten bodies from the mass of Jupiter, which are far from any star. Scientists believe these huge objects without company may have been ejected from their planetary systems. The research appears in the journal Nature.

Planets

Spitzer will revise some of the known planets and their moons, and comets, asteroids and dust spread throughout the solar system. The Centre will employ a significant portion of his time studying circumstellar disks (that surround the stars) of dust and gas found in the nearby stars and thought to eventually form planetary systems 'extra solar' (outside our Solar System) .
