Substellar objects in Orion Nebula
Yes, the Orion Nebula is a star factory, but a new deep survey has revealed 17 brown dwarf companions to red dwarf stars, a brown dwarf pair, a brown dwarf with a planetary companion, plus ... 3 giant planets.
Orion Nebula is where new stars are born
Everything you need to know about the Orion Nebula. How to find it in your sky tonight. Plus ... the science of this star factory in space.
Tonight … Half-lit quarter moon
The Earth and moon are like mirrors to each other in that - when we see a 1st quarter moon in our sky - those on the moon would see a last quarter Earth.
Asteroid to fly safely past Earth February 4
Asteroid 2002 AJ129 will make a close approach to Earth on February 4, 2018. At its closest, it will be 2.6 million miles (4.2 million km) away - about 10 times the distance between Earth and the moon.

Orion high in southern skies
Orion the Hunter is at its highest in the south in the evening now for the Northern Hemisphere. But the Southern Hemisphere has an even better view! This photo is from Yuri Beletsky Nightscapes, in Chile.
