Artist's impression of early Mars bombarded by an asteroid larger than Texas. The scientists believe that the impact caused the Martian crust to melt in the northern hemisphere, sending fragments into space and sending shock waves through the planet's molten core. This explains why the Martian crust is thinner in the northern hemisphere. Photo: Jeff Anders-Hannah and Francis Nimmo.

A sky map suitable for Israel on the night of October 8 and showing the northern horizon highlighting the constellations. A group of dragons is visible to the left of the middle of the picture, to the right of the group of the little bear (at the end of its tail is the North Star) to the left of a group of villains (which is part of the summer triangle), both groups are familiar and easy to identify. The image is from Stellarium, an open source astronomy software.
