Sunrise at Uranus and Venus

Sky watchers will have an asymmetrical opportunity to spot the planet Uranus, because it will be located very close to the brilliant planet Venus in the sunrise sky.

You can easily spot Venus as the brightest article in the sky just before sunrise, but it will be better to be up a little earlier just as Venus clears the eastern horizon, so that the sky will be as dark as possible. This will help you to spot tiny Uranus, just within range of the naked eye under perfect conditions, but most of the time requiring binoculars or a small telescope to spot.

A strange hot spot on a planet from outside our solar system

The Spitzer Space Telescope NASA has exposed a strange point of heat in a planet outside our solar system in the Andromeda group, 44 light years from the Earth. The planet, Upsilon Andromeda, is a massive such as 'hot Jupiters', named for its high temperatures and gas formation. The strange thing, the mystery that scientists cannot manage to explain, is that this extraordinary heat zone is located in a part of the planet in which there should be, away from exposure to the star, which contradicts all theories known.

The discovery of an exoplanet

A reacharger group of European astronomers has announced the discovery of an exoplanet particular. Is larger than Jupiter and may be gaseous, so it does not look like Earth. But what is its origin awareness. In fact, that distant world was not formed in our galaxy, but entered it, along with its star, about 9,000 million years. The finding is published this week in Science.

"The discovery is very exciting, says Rainer Klement, one of the authors of the study, for the first time, astronomers have detected a planetary system in a stellar group of extragalactic origin.
