My eye on the sky The Sun, Mercury and Mars in supposed-to-be-freewheeling Sagittarius are running into trouble now as they become the focal point of a t-square with the Saturn Uranus opposition. If you have planets in the mid degrees of the mutable signs you are going to feel this. “You can’t say that,” says Saturn in Virgo. “Fuck you, I’m sayin’ it,” says Mars, Mercury and the Sun in Sadge. Uranus...

Theories behind the mysterious hexagon on the surface of Saturn. Saturn, the sixth planet in our solar system, has caused quite a stir in the news recently when the NASA Cassini Orbiter photographed a six sided geometric shape on the surface of the planet. read more | digg story Written by S Hayes

A planet may have been imaged closer to its star than any photographed previously, astronomers say. The candidate planet, which might still turn out to be a foreground or background object, appears to lie at about the orbital distance of Saturn around the well-studied star Beta Pictoris.

It's interesting that Alan Colmes is about to leave his 12-year position as co-host with Sean Hannity each weeknight on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes". This happens just as Saturn transits his cluster of Virgo planets and he approaches a second Saturn Return. Alan reported the news on his blog Liberaland yesterday. A prediction I tentatively made back in January has materialised In a

A planet may have been imaged closer to its star than any photographed previously, astronomers say. The candidate planet, which might still turn out to be a foreground or background object, appears to lie at about the orbital distance of Saturn around the well-studied star Beta Pictoris. Astronomers have long suspected that the young, 12-million-year-old star hosts a massive planet, since it is surrounded...

Forget Mars and its buried glaciers for a minute, Enceladus is one of Saturn's moons, and what a ripper of a little planet! White as snow to the human eye, Enceladus is wrinkly, puts on amazing performances spouting jets of icy-water into the atmosphere, and accommodates house-sized ice blocks about the place. Really, have a look at these amazing photo's (some include artistic impressions, not

Last week's Carnival of Space was hosted by Nicole over at One Astronomer's Noise . Interesting posts ranged from " haunted noises " from Saturn to exo-solar planets ( note: video included) to even reasons why Obama (and the space community) should delay "big space projects" for a season. A few articles readers might enjoy include: Emily Lakdawalla of the Planetary Society Blog ponders whether NASA...

A NASA illustration showing the newly discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting the star Fomalhaut. The brown and gold colors are a Saturn-like ring that astronomers say may encircle the planet. A vast disk of dust and debris surrounding Fomalhaut is shown in the background as the curving cloud-like feature that appears to intersect the 200-million-year-old star. The planet lies 1.8 billion miles

My eye on the sky The Moon in Cancer forms a grand trine with planets in Scorpio and Pisces, I told you we wouldn’t have to worry about it for a couple days. People feel okay. This leaves the Saturn Uranus opposition to dominate but with emotions calmed there is an opportunity to detach (Uranus) and take stock of reality (Saturn). If you want to marry or bridge these two it is possible. For example...

PHOTO IN THE NEWS: Mysterious Aurora Spotted on Saturn November 13, 2008—Saturn has given scientists a light show like nothing they've ever seen, NASA announced Wednesday. The Cassini orbiter has captured a unique aurora (shown in blue) on the ringed planet that illuminates much of its northern polar cap. Auroras occur when charged particles stream across a planet's magnetic field lines and into its...

I always say that (besides Earth) Saturn is the most beautiful planet in the solar system. I may have to revise that opinion. At least in this case. It looks infected!* That’s a Cassini image, taken in the infrared, showing a weird aurora at the ringed planet’s north pole. We’ve been observing the aurorae on Saturn for [...]
