From our inbox to you from Earth Sky News… Moon, Venus and Jupiter align October 7, 8 and 9 2015

Watch a great morning drama on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, as the waning moon slides toward the sunrise, past the brightest planets.

There’s now a target date of 2030 for a manned mission to Mars. How close are we to becoming Martians?

If you want to imagine standing on the surface of the Red Planet … look at this spectacular image taken about a month ago.

It was 20 years ago today. The planet is designated 51 Pegasi b.

Bright Venus and Jupiter – and fainter Mars – shine close together before dawn. Mercury joins in mid-month. Saturn is the lone evening planet.

Astronomy tools and gifts for all ages and levels of expertise.
