Get Ready For The Epochal Alignment Of 6 Planets in 2026!

Mark your calendars for late February 2026! Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune will align in a rare "planetary parade." This stunning celestial event will be visible shortly after sunset, with several planets appearing in a tight grouping near the western horizon.

If Matter & Antimatter Were Created Equally, What Symmetry-Breaking Mechanism Allowed The Dominance Of Matter We Observe Today?

The observable universe contains an overwhelming abundance of matter over antimatter, with no significant reservoirs of primordial antimatter detected

The parent body of asteroid Ryugu appears to have harbored water in the form of ice for over a billion years, Japanese researchers have found, in a discovery that could reshape ideas on how the Earth got its oceans. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/11/japan/science-health/ryugu-asteroids-water-earth/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #hayabusa2 #space #astronomy #asteroids #planets #ryugu

Hello #FediScience, migrating from astrodon.social (about to close), I am joining you here (inspired by @wolfgangcramer), so it's time for a new #Introduction

I'm Alexandre Santerne (call me Alex), #astronomer working @LAM_Marseille & teaching at Aix-Marseille #University (France).

I'm expert in finding #NoPlanetB 😀 ( #planets around other #stars).

I want to work in a #fair, #inclusive, and #sustainable #research #environment, so I (try to) act accordingly. I'm a member of @labos1point5

I toot a lot about #Astronomy, #Astrophysics, #Space but also a lot about #ClimateChange and #Climate.

Since 2019, I completely boycott planes, and I travel by #train (long distance) and #bike (short distance) as much as I can.

My other interests include #photography (visit my Flickr gallery in my profile) #Astronomy#Space

Oh, in case you don't know where Aix-Marseille is (trick: in 🇫🇷 ), the image below (credit: #NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute) is indicating where I am, as seen from #Saturn...

... and where you also are, together with 8B people as part of 2M species 😀

This rare image taken on July 19, 2013, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft has shows Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. At the time, Cassini was 2013 from a distance of about 898.414 million miles (1.445858 billion kilometers) from Earth. It is only one footprint in a mosaic of 33 footprints covering the entire Saturn ring system (including Saturn itself) taken by Cassini's wide-angle camera.

Milky Way over the Australian Pinnacles

Pinnacles in Western Australia foreground this panorama featuring a crescent #Moon amidst zodiacal light and the Milky Way. The 2015 image captures these limestone spires, whose formation is a mystery, under a star-studded sky.
