Titan Temperature Lag Maps

This sequence of maps shows varying surface temperatures on Saturn moon Titan at two-year intervals, from 2004 to 2016. The measurements were made by the Composite Infrared Spectrometer CIRS instrument on NASA Cassini spacecraft. The maps show thermal infrared radiation (heat) coming from Titan's surface at a wavel...

Neptune

This contrast enhanced color picture of Neptune was acquired by NASA Voyager 2 on Aug. 14, 1989. As Voyager 2 approached Neptune, rapidly increasing image resolution is revealed striking new details. Bright, wispy clouds are seen overlying the Great Dar

Jupiter in blue, ultraviolet and Near Infrared

These three images of Jupiter, taken through the narrow angle camera of NASA Cassini spacecraft from a distance of 77.6 million kilometers 48.2 million miles on October 8, reveal more than is apparent to the naked eye through a telescope.

This headline sounds like it was written by an Anti-Red Dwarf pressure group!

I think all stars eat a few of their planets, or through them out into the depths of Space.
Early Solar Systems are wild, for example, the Early Earth got smacked by a Mars sized object to make the Moon!
