  Jupiter and Saturn Will Align Source:  Image of the Christmas Star Christmas Light Show On this year's winter solstice December 21, Jupiter and Saturn will align so closely that, from Earth, they will appear as though they have merged.  This radiant point of light from the two planets hasn't been seen in 800 years or since March 4, 1226.  The celestial phenomenon is known as the Christmas Star and The Star of Bethlehem. Space Phenomena According to astronomers, alignments between Jupiter and Saturn are very rare.  The alignment is known as the Great Conjunction and happens every twenty years.  But this year's light show is exceptionally rare and was last seen in the Middle Ages. As one astronomers put it, the two planets will appear to have a distance between them of less than the diameter of a full moon.  From Earth, they will look as though they have converged into a brilliant flash of light. Viewing Venue Experts say check out the southwest sky ab...

NASA Discovery: Possibilities of Life on Saturn's Biggest Moon Titian Source:  NASA Titan Moon Surface image Does Life Exist Beyond Earth? The images from NASA are mesmerizing.  This is the terrain of Titan, which is Saturn's largest moon.  There are oceans and lakes of liquid methane, vast plains and dunes of frozen organic material, which is the basis of life.  These are the first ever global geological maps of Titan, provided by NASA.  NASA scientists say they suggest the possibility of life of some form is possible on Titan. NASA has a Dragonfly mission with a drone to explore Titan in upcoming years,  For more details on the possibilities, go to Important Innovations Collection: Saturn's Titan Moon & Life : New Science from NASA - Possibility of Life on Titan, Saturn's Largest Moon Source:   NASA Jet Propulsion Lab Moonscapes, Science...

NASA's Next Mission & New Destination Source:  NASA - Titan Saturn's Largest Moon - Titan NASA has announced that its next mission to a new destination is to Titan, which is Saturn's largest moon.  It is also the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere.  NASA calls it the Dragonfly Mission.  The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will be launched in 2025 and will land on Titan to explore its terrain and fly its atmosphere for any signs of life and for clues to the origin of life on Earth.  It's an exciting and bold mission.  For a great news blog on it, go to  Important Innovations Collection: NASA's Dragonfly Mission : Dragonfly Rotorcraft-Lander Goes to Saturn's Largest Moon - Titan Source:  NASA's Dragonfly Artist Rendering NASA Searchi...

Surprise Discovery on Saturn:  New, 6-Sided Jet Stream Emerging NASA:  Saturn's North Pole Vortex Mystery and Extent of  Saturn's Hexagon Grows The data is from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.  Scientists have just spotted a vortex emerging from Saturn's North Pole.  It's a warming, high altitude jet stream that scientists say has a hexagonal shape. Cassini Find The surprise discovery was just published in the journal Nature Communications.  NASA scientists think it may be hundreds of miles in height. The Cassini spacecraft was launched in 1997 and collected data on Saturn for 20 years.  Years ago, it spotted a vortex coming from Saturn's South Pole.  But until now, nothing was cited in the planet's North Pole.  NASA scientists are amazed by this intergalactic discovery and pursuing the mystery of the how's and why's surrounding it.  The scientists also wonder what other exciting discoveries Cassini's data may unveil.
