Located 4,497 million kilometers away, Neptune is the eighth planet in its distance from the Sun and is the fourth in size. The interior structure of Neptune is probably similar to that of Uranus. Studies suggest the existence of a rocky core whose size is several times the size of the Earth, surrounded…
Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781. Gaseous planet and seventh in distance from the Sun (about 2,800 million km from our star), its diameter is four times that of Earth and it rotates on its axis in 17 hours. The temperature at the top of its clouds reaches -210° C. It is a planet…
Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system and the sixth largest by distance from the Sun (1,427 million km). It is better known for the beauty of its rings than for its internal characteristics, which make it similar to Jupiter. Its structure consists of a rock core that concentrates the 26% of…
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. Located 778.3 million km from the Sun, it takes almost 12 Earth years to orbit it. Its mass is two and a half times the combined mass of the rest of all the planets combined. The planet has a weak inner ring made up of small rocks and dust...
It is the fourth planet in the Solar System. Known as the red planet because of its hue, the Romans identified it with blood and called it their god of war. It has a very thin atmosphere, made up mainly of CO2. Studies show that Mars had a more compact atmosphere, with clouds and precipitation that...
It is our planet and the only one known so far with life. It is the largest of the rocky planets, located at an appropriate distance from the Sun so that it does not get too hot or cold. Its atmosphere, the gaseous layer that surrounds it, provides a breathable environment, being composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% of...
Venus is the second planet in the Solar System and the most similar to Earth due to its size, mass, density and volume. They were both formed at the same time. However, it is different from Earth. It has no oceans and its dense atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect that raises the temperature to 480...
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the second smallest in the Solar System. It is smaller than the Earth, but larger than the Moon. If we were placed on Mercury, the Sun would look 2 and a half times larger. The sky, however, would always look black, because there is no atmosphere that...
When one enters into amateur astronomy through the use of instruments, it is always advisable to have some accessories. Some are not too important, while others are essential to make a good observation. The most used accessories in astronomy and their respective characteristics are detailed below. Eyepieces: They are the essential accessory for…
Strictly speaking, not all professional astronomers are dedicated to “observing” through large telescopes. Some specialize in certain areas where such instruments may not be so required (e.g. cosmology), or take greater advantage of advances in space exploration (e.g. planetary sciences, exobiology). However, the different types are listed below…
