Stayed up for the late Seattle twilight to catch Venus (upper left), Jupiter (below her to the right) and little Mercury (lower right of the sky). Second pic is just Venus (brighter) and Jupiter.

This is where Brown Dwarfs are made.
These are what comes between a world like Jupiter and a red dwarf star, the Universe is full of them.

Nereid

Nereid, the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered before NASA Voyager's recent discoveries, was first seen by Gerard Kuiper in 1949. Until this Voyager 2 image was obtained, all that was known about Nereid was its orbital parameters and intrinsic brightness. This Voyager view of Nereid was obtained on Aug. 24, 1989 at a distance of 4.7 million kilometers (2....

Saturn Northern Hemisphere

This false color picture of Saturn’s northern hemisphere was assembled from ultraviolet, violet and green images obtained Aug. 19 by Voyager 2 from a range of 7.1 million kilometers (4.4 million miles). The several weather patterns evident include three spots flowing westward at about 15 meters-per-second (33 mph). Although the cloud system as...

Ariel at Voyager Closest Approach

This picture is part of NASA Voyager 2 imaging sequence of Ariel, a moon of Uranus taken on January 24, 1986. The complexity of Ariel surface indicates that a variety of geologic processes have occurred. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA00037
