    There are at least 100-to-200 billion (lower limit) to ten trillion planets planets in our Milky Way...

    ...With at least 200 billion galaxies out there (and possibly even more), we’re very likely talking about a Universe filled with around
    10^24 planets, or, for those of you who like it written out, around 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in our observable Universe.

    Space in Images - 2016 - 09 - Mercury Transfer Module with integrated ion thrusters
    http://www.esa.int/...einimages/Images/2016/09/Mercury_Transfer_Module_with_integrated_ion_thrusters
    The base of ESA’s Mercury Transfer Module with its four T6 ion thrusters fully fitted for its 6.5 year journey to Mercury,
    along with the rest of the BepiColombo spacecraft. The module will carry Europe’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter and Japan’s
    Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter together to the Sun’s innermost planet.

    Astronomers observe outburst of comet 15P/Finlay
    http://phys.org/news/2016-09-astronomers-outburst-comet-15pfinlay.html
    A Jupiter-family comet, designated 15P/Finlay, has experienced two large-scale outbursts during its perihelion passage at the end of 2014
    and the start of 2015. The latter was observed by a team of astronomers, led by Masateru Ishiguro of the Seoul National University in South Korea,
    offering a rare glimpse into the physical properties of cometary nuclei. The results of these observations are published Sept. 3 on the arXiv server.

    The Milky Way’s Heart May Have Stopped Forming Stars | IFLScience
    http://www.iflscience.com/space/the-milky-ways-heart-may-have-stopped-forming-stars/
    The closer you get to the center of the galaxy, the more crowded it becomes with stars, at least until reaching the black hole at its core.
    However, a survey of the Milky Way’s inner reaches suggests there is a near-complete shortage of young stars around the central hub, throwing
    a major query into our view of galactic evolution, and how things may one day look.

    Cepheid variables are an exceptionally valuable tool in understanding the universe. These supergiant stars pulse in brightness on a regular
    cycle related to how much light they emit on average. By measuring the length of a Cepheid’s cycle, it is possible to work out how bright
    it truly is, enabling us to determine its distance. This property has allowed us to measure the scale of our own and nearby galaxies.

    Rare Fossil Relic of Early Milky Way Discovered W. M. Keck Observatory
    http://www.keckobservatory.org/recent/entry/rare_fossil_relic_of_early_milky_way_discovered
    A fossilized remnant of the early Milky Way harboring stars of hugely different ages has been discovered by an international team of astronomers.
    This stellar system located in the Galactic Bulge has the appearance of a globular cluster, but it is like no other cluster known. It contains stars
    remarkably similar to the most ancient stars in the Milky Way but also a significant population of young stars, thus bridging the gap in understanding
    between our galaxy's past and its present. The research presents a possible route for astronomers to unravel the mysteries of galaxy formation, and
    offers an unrivaled view into the complicated history of the Milky Way. The findings are being published in The Astrophysical Journal today.

    Úžasný pán..

    Today asteroid 345842 Alexparker is at its closest to Earth at 1.5027 AU!
    It won't be this close again until 2038.
