Astronomical opposition is the exciting time when the Earth aligns precisely between the Sun and another Planet. This happens because of our faster and smaller orbit. There's still plenty of time to get everything you need ahead of Jupiter's opposition on the 26th of September 2022. The king of the solar system will appear bigger and brighter than usual, and you should be able to easily spot the four of its largest moons when using the correct kit.
The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) has discovered patchy 'proton auroras' above Mars, suggesting unexpectedly chaotic conditions where the solar wind interacts with the Red Planet's upper atmosphere.
Adding to the astronomy community's general apprehension about the growing number of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), a number of planetary defense scientists and researchers have voiced their own concerns about the topic.
A distant galaxy stopped birthing stars when a merger with another galaxy ripped out its star-forming gas and stars, a violent process that left it with a massive 'tail' of star-stuff.
The breathtaking images of distant nebulas captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope that mesmerized the world in July have been turned into music through a technique called data sonification.
