Today's reminder this afternoon is a rare conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter

At the time of conjunction, both planets will be seen in the west direction, just after sunset over the southwestern horizon close to the setting sun. The next closest cluster - in March 2080 * And how does this relate to the way we discover planets outside the solar system?

Astronomers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to ultra-wide-field images of the deep universe as taken by Japan's Subaru Telescope, achieving very high accuracy for detecting and classifying spiral galaxies in these images. This technique, combined with citizen scientists, is expected to yield more discoveries in the future

The image covers 2.9 square degrees - one 16th of the telescope's full field. Andromeda or Messier 31 is the nearest large galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, which is 2.5 million light-years away.

The contours seen on the surface of the red giant π1 Gruis are heat convection cells, in which hot plasma moves up from the depths of the star, cools, and returns back inside. Despite the blur in the image, she breaks new ground in her ability to observe the star's disk from a distance of 530 light years, and for the first time identify this phenomenon directly on a star other than our sun.
