Tak jsem se byl na chvíli mrknout na oblohu, než půjdu spát a lítá to pěkně. Až zapadne po půlnoci Měsíc, tak to bude parádní, škoda, že musím ráno vstávat.
Ale měl jsem štěstí na jeden velký, který v maximu byl jasnější než všecky hvězdy a pár sekund po tom bylo krásně vidět, jak dohasínal a rudnul.
Přeju všem krásné pozorování, jasnou oblohu a Měsíc pod obzorem ;)

Moons orbiting the exoplanet Beta Pic b may be visible in 2017.

The star in question is Beta Pictoris, which is about 60 light years away (that’s relatively close). It’s more massive, hotter, and
brighter than the Sun. It’s also considerably younger: It’s about 25 million years old, while our star is over 4.5 billion years in age.

NASA Climate Modeling Suggests Venus May Have Been Habitable

Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history, according
to computer modeling of the planet’s ancient climate by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

The findings, published this week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, were obtained with a model similar to the type used to predict
future climate change on Earth.

Stromatolites: Astrobiological Implications

Oil companies involved in astrobiology? It doesn’t seem likely, but in a roundabout way, it’s true.
A consortium including Chevron, Repsol, BP and Shell have a natural interest in developing better models
for subsurface reservoirs and source rocks in microbe-rich carbonate environments. At the same time,
NASA’s Astrobiology Program is intrigued with how we could find bacterial structures on other worlds,
and their role in planetary habitability.

Mystery object in weird orbit beyond Neptune cannot be explained | New Scientist
https://www.newscientist.com/...00-mystery-object-in-weird-orbit-beyond-neptune-cannot-be-explained/
“I hope everyone has buckled their seatbelts because the outer solar system just got a lot weirder.”
That’s what Michele Bannister, an astronomer at Queens University, Belfast tweeted on Monday.

She was referring to the discovery of a TNO or trans-Neptunian object, something which sits beyond Neptune in the outer solar system.
This one is 160,000 times fainter than Neptune, which means the icy world could be less than 200 kilometres in diameter. It’s currently
above the plane of the solar system and with every passing day, it’s moving upwards – a fact that makes it an oddity.

The TNO orbits in a plane that’s tilted 110 degrees to the plane of the solar system. What’s more, it swings around the sun backwards
unlike most of the other objects in the solar system. With this in mind, the team that discovered the TNO nicknamed it “Niku” after
the Chinese adjective for rebellious.
