Stars and constellations The stars and constellations visible in the earlier part of the night are those of spring, but there’s a transition taking place in the early hours as the stars of summer begin to take over. The kite-shaped constellation of Boötes, the Herdsman rides high across ...
When astronomers measure how fast stars orbit the centers of galaxies, they find something strange. The stars at the edges of galaxies are moving much faster than they should be if only visible matter were present. This suggests that something unseen — dark matter — is adding to the galaxy...
Light-years can be divided into light-days, light-hours or even light-seconds, though those units are used less often. The sun is 8 light-minutes away, which means it takes light from the sun 8 minutes to reach Earth. All this depends on knowing the speed of light, and that turns ...
Immersed in mist—perhaps atop Elsinore in a Hamlet movie—there might be no surface whatsoever that we see or feel. In swimming underwater, we can feel suspended in a place with no surfaces to see other than our body’s. At night, we see stars as dots and we cannot tell that they ...

Looking like a smaller version of the Little Dipper (and commonly mistaken for it), the Pleiades are a cluster of stars born together about 100 million years ago, and a couple of dozen of them are visible through binoculars. The moon’s passage through the cluster will be an interesting ...
The Stars gave up goals to San Jose on their first, third, fourth and fifth shots of the game Sunday. That's not good. And they've given up the first goal in eight of their last 10 games. That's not good either. And so, after a day off on Monday and a vigorous practice Tuesda...
This suggests that our Solar System isn't a typical planetary system, but a relatively rare one. When we look at planets around other stars, we see that planets of a similar mass to Jupiter are found in Earth's spot.这表明，我们的太阳系不是一个典型的行星系，而是一个相对罕见的行星系。
Meteors are also known as shooting stars. They look like a streak of light shooting across the night sky. ©Unsplash/Austin Human Many times a year, hundreds of celestial fireballs light up the night skies. They may be called shooting stars, but they don't really have anything to do ...
