WEST PALM BEACH — A Jupiter mother accused of confining her adopted teenage child for hours at time in a box-like structure in the garage of the family’s home will avoid going to trial — and likely to state prison — after she entered guilty pleas on multiple charges. Tracy Ferriter pleaded guilty to one […]
The new moon of June 2024 occurs tonight, making this a great night to get and enjoy a sky free from the glare of the moon. New moons occur about every 28.5 days, as the moon passes between the sun and Earth on its journey around its orbit. More formally, a new moon is when […]
New research suggests that understanding factors common to celestial light shows over Earth, Saturn and Jupiter can help predict risky space weather. The stunning Northern Lights and Southern Lights are examples of auroras over Earth that are very familiar to skywatchers. Earlier in May, Earth experienced the most powerful aurora event in 21 years, reminding […]
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have discovered that a cotton-candy-like Jupiter-sized planet located around 350 light-years away is shrinking and could be on the way to becoming a “sub-Neptune” or “super-Earth” sized world. As well as being one of the lightest planets ever discovered, the extrasolar planet or “exoplanet” called V1298 Tau b also […]
Photo of saturn and its rings against the blackness of space. The search for life beyond Earth has driven seekers to scout all sorts of potential habitats — not just on the growing list of known Earth-like exoplanets, but in other places within our own solar system. The first choice that comes to mind is […]
It would appear that the so-called “great instability” event that wreaked chaos among the planets, sending the gas giants careening through space until they settled into the orbits we know today, occurred between 60 and 100 million years after the birth of the solar system. This is the conclusion of some careful scientific detective work […]
In an unofficial sense, I would like to dub today (April 10) as “View a Planet Day.” In the early morning hours will be two planets that will appear very close to each other and then later that same day, in the early evening sky we’ll have a chance to see Jupiter hovering near to […]

The gas giant Jupiter steals the show in these two new portraits of the planet’s opposing faces, showing the swirling storms and tumultuous cloud bands blown by winds raging at hundreds of miles per hour. The Hubble Space Telescope took these images on Jan. 5-6, 2024. Jupiter rotates once every 10 hours, Hubble was able […]
If the weather is clear on Wednesday evening (March 13), check out the western sky around mid-twilight — about an hour after sunset. There, about one-third of the way up from the horizon to the overhead point, you’ll see an eye-catching sight: A lovely, thin crescent moon, 18 percent illuminated by sunlight — and situated […]
The moon and the Jupiter have a hot date for Valentine’s Day tonight, strolling side-by-side through the night sky. Starting when the pair rises above the horizon just before 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT), the moon and Jupiter will be separated by less than 3 degrees from one another, equivalent to the width of a […]
