The Planet and the Pipe

Now posing against our galaxy's rich starfields and nebulae, brilliant planet Jupiter shines in the night sky.

Small bits of this greenish-gray comet are expected to streak across Earth's atmosphere tonight.

That's not a young crescent Moon poised above the hills along the western horizon at sunset.

If you saw the dawn's early light from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station last Friday, June 29, then you could have seen this rocket's red glare.

Wandering through the constellation Sagittarius, bright planets Mars and Saturn appeared together in early morning skies over the last weeks.
