When a planet passes in front of a star, the starlight passes through the planet's atmosphere. Lines in the resulting spectrum occur where different elements absorb light at characteristic energies, indicating the composition of the planet's atmosphere.

In 1610, Galileo's telescope revealed that the milky smear across the night sky is not a nebula but a field of tiny stars. Immanuel Kent guessed that the stars form a rotating disk and that the Earth is inside it.

Comet Encke was "discovered" in 1786, 1795,1805, and 1818 by different astronomers. These comets were found to be the same only after orbital calculations in 1819 by the German astronomer Johann Encke, who then predicted its return in 1822.

Retrograde motion is an effect of changing perspective. Inferior planets Mercury and Venus show retrograde motion on either side of inferior conjunction. They "overtake" Earth as they pass between Earth and the Sun.

First discovered in 1826, the Bug Nebula is one of the brightest planetary nebulae. The central star is thought to have an extremely high temperature, and its intense heat lights up the surrounding stellar material.

The Horsehead Nebula is lit by a quintuple star system that bathes the clouds in UV light. Sigma Ordonis A and B are an orbiting pair of blue stars; C,D, and E will eventually spin off as solo stars

Well today certainly turned out to be yucky

I spent a lot of money at the garden store yesterday. Now I have to haul heavy bags of dirt around to plant it all. I suppose it's cheaper than a gym membership.

Albireo is regarded as one of the finest multiple star systems in the night sky. It consists of a golden-colored giant star and a cooler blue-dwarf star. Albireo is easily separated through a small telescope.

Little is known about dark energy, except that it's repulsive. This strange force causes matter to scatter rather than attract. Dark energy makes up 68% of the universe's mass-energy density.

Enaiposha is 3 times bigger and 8 times as massive as Earth. The planet's density means a chunk of it must be lighter than rock but heavier than gas. It is likely that Enaiposha is a water world.
