Read full article: Get out the telescope: All the planets in our solar system are visible in the sky this weekThose interested in stargazing should get out their telescope as there will be ample opportunity to see planets in our November sky. According to CNN, seven of the planets in our solar system (not including earth) will be visible at various points in the day. The planets Venus and Mercury can be seen in the mornings, and Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn can be seen at night. Uranus will also be visible, CNN said. The website Earthsky.org has the details of the best times of day you can view the planets.

If you dont know how to spot them or dont have a telescope to find them the San Antonio Astronomical Association is here to help. Every Wednesday, the association meets up for its free to the public event, Astronomy in the Park. The event is at Raymond Rimkus Park located on Evers Road in Leon Valley. Right now, its just Jupiter and Saturn that are very clear to spot, but Mars will also be visible later this month. The event is weekly depending on clear skies and if weather permits.
Pluto may have started hot and contained an ocean, according to new discovery
Read full article: Pluto may have started hot and contained an ocean, according to new discoveryThis heat could have been enough to melt ice and form a subsurface ocean. Now, using geologic observations of Pluto's surface, new research suggests that Pluto actually started out in a hot formation scenario. Researchers modeled and compared hot versus cold formation scenarios and found that the surface features on Pluto best match hot. "As Pluto was forming, material was repeatedly coming in and impacting the surface," Bierson said. We calculate that Pluto would have had to form in less than about 30,000 years for this to form an ocean."
Saturns moon Titan is rapidly migrating away from the planet
Read full article: Saturns moon Titan is rapidly migrating away from the planetCNN Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is moving away from its planet a hundred times faster than previously established, according to a new study. This is caused by the moon's gravity tugging on the planet, which creates a temporary bulge in the planet. Data collected during NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission to study Saturn and some of its moons has revealed that Titan's migration rate equals about 4 inches per year. Saturn, the second-largest planet in our solar system, likely formed during the infancy of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago. Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury, orbits Saturn at a distance of 759,000 miles away.
