The DAWN spaceship finished its mission, after losing contact with it

Keres - additional findings

The collapsed dwarf planet is still growing

Keres - summary of findings

2015 in space part I: scientific discoveries, historical achievements

Summary of the year 2015 in science

The mystery of Cress is solved

Nancy, but fascinating

The Dawn spacecraft will enter orbit around the dwarf planet Ceres today

Students from Jerusalem won the Space Olympics for Ilan and Assaf Ramon

Toward the Dawn: Discovery of the dwarf dwarf planet Ceres, 1/1/1801

The Herschel Space Telescope discovered water vapor in an asteroid

The World Astronomical Union throws Pluto a bone - it and the trans-Neptunian bodies will be called plutoids

The number of planets in the solar system - does it really matter how much?

Were the changes in the definitions of the planets essential and how much their contribution affects the space sciences

Ceres - the largest of the asteroids, a dwarf planet and almost unknown

New solar system(?)

Astronomers challenge the decision to downgrade Pluto and call it a hijacker

"Many tearful eyes" at the IAU conference in Prague where it was decided to demote Pluto

The strict ones won - Pluto loses its status as a planet and becomes a 'dwarf planet'

Today the vote on the definition of the planets in the solar system * Proposal: adding the atmosphere as a criterion

Eight stars?

12 Kochbia: the sequence of decisions regarding the determination of the definition of the planets

Commentary: Has Pluto degradated or not?

There is a compromise in which the number of planets will increase to 12 and a waiting list of additional bodies will be opened

3,000 astronomers are currently meeting in Prague to discuss the fate of Pluto
