| ESO/A. C. Cameron | | ![]() | Orbits of some exoplanets turn planetary theory upside down New data combined with older observations indicates that more than half of all the hot Jupiters studied have orbits that are actually misaligned with the rotation axis of their parent stars, and some are even rotating their host sun in the "wrong direction" compared to our solar system.

This year, the warmer weather heralds excellent views of Mercury and Venus together in the evening twilight. High in the south, Mars commands attention as the brightest object in Cancer the Crab. And as the sky darkens, Saturn climbs in the eastern sky and remains visible all night.
After morning twilight commences, Saturn dips low in the west and Jupiter rises in the east. Toward the end of April, Capricornus rises early enough for a binocular view of Neptune. You won't want to miss it because this year the outer planet returns to the approximate spot where it was discovered in 1846.
