You can take a trip through the solar system this week without ever leaving Earth.
Sort of.
According to a CNN article, though, you can get a look at seven other planets — Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, Uranus and Mercury will all be visible during different times of the day.

NASA and SpaceX are now targeting 7:27 p.m. EST Sunday, Nov. 15, for liftoff of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission to fly astronauts from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station.
Teams moved the launch by one day because of onshore winds and...
SpaceX's next astronaut mission for NASA has been delayed due to a combination of weather conditions and a technical issue, according to NASA.
The mission, known as Crew-1, was slated to lift off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Saturday evening. But in a blog on Friday, NASA announced that "onshore...
Long ago and far across the universe, an enormous burst of gamma rays unleashed more energy in a half-second than the sun will produce over its entire 10-billion-year lifetime.
After examining the incredibly bright burst with optical, X-ray, near-infrared and radio wavelengths, a Northwestern University-led astrophysics team believes it potentially...
Scientists at University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy (IfA) in the US, have announced the detection of Yarkovsky acceleration on the near-Earth asteroid Apophis.
Dave Tholen and collaborators have announced the detection of Yarkovsky acceleration on the near-Earth asteroid Apophis. This acceleration arises from an extremely weak force on an...
The universe is getting hotter, a new study has found.
The study, published Oct. 13 in the Astrophysical Journal, probed the thermal history of the universe over the last 10 billion years. It found that the mean temperature of gas across the universe has increased more than 10 times over...
No one wants to go to hell — neither the place of eternal damnation nor a new planet researchers recently discovered.
Researchers have pinpointed what they say is one of the “most extreme planets” ever discovered on the edges of our solar system. How extreme, you ask? Well, its oceans...
A main cable that supports the Arecibo Observatory broke Friday at 7:39 p.m. Puerto Rico time.
Unlike the auxiliary cable that failed at the same facility on Aug. 10, this main cable did not slip out of its socket. It broke and fell onto the reflector dish below, causing additional...
3D-printing can achieve some incredible things, but few would have anticipated a microscopic Star Trek Voyager would be created to research microswimmers.
Physicists from Leiden University have been working on several microscopic items to study microswimmers. The research team previously developed a 10-micrometre ‘Benchy the tugboat’, and they have...
