 Harvard Gazette: Light detected from alien planets
The planets that emit it are too hot to be inhabited, at least by intelligent beings, but an Earthly satellite has gotten the best views yet of planets orbiting other stars like the sun.
The biggest problem that had to be solved to get direct views of planets like TrES-1 involves separating the infrared glow of the planet from the blazing fire of its star, which is some 400 times brighter.
When the planet disappears behind its sun, the star blocks the planet's light, proving a measurement of the brightness of the star alone.

However, we learn from Kepler that if the body leaves the neighborhood of the planet after an encounter, it will move in an ellipse which brings it back to the vicinity of the orbit of the planet, once or twice for every revolution.
The magnitude of the accretion rate of a planet and the rate changes during the formative period are of particular interest since they would largely control the primary heat structure of the body.
In Laplacian types of models all the source material for planets and satellites is assumed to be present at one time in the solar nebula and to be uniformly mixed to give a "cosmic composition." Striking differences in composition (see sec.

 Is Pluto a giant comet?
It is a planet of some sort, and many planetary scientists in the last couple of decades of the 20th century began speaking of Pluto as a "planetesimal" -- and no longer as a "major planet" -- in the astronomical literature (note the several dozen authors in the documented list below).
Note that when (1) Ceres was first discovered in 1801, it was presumed to be a "regular" planet (after it was initially considered as a comet, that is; Uranus had also been thought to be a comet when it was first discovered, because two centuries ago the concept of new "planets" was novel).
Pluto was only called a major planet in 1930 because of a search for a mythical ninth major planet that was supposedly perturbing Neptune and Uranus (due to the lack of sufficient precise positional observations for those giant planets back then).

The bright eruption near the center of the sun's surface, witnessed by the SOHO satellite, reveals the source of the solar salvo.
The X-rays were associated with strong solar disturbances this week, in particular a coronal mass ejection (CME) on Wednesday that sent a stream of energized particles in the direction of our planet.
But the sun is in an unexpected phase of energetic activity and could generate more X-rays, bursts or solar storms in the coming weeks, space weather forecasters caution.

What this means is that if Lindsey were to rewrite The Late Great Planet Earth today, he would obviously look elsewhere for the prophetic king of the South—possibly to Libya, in view of the latter’s hatred for Israel and diplomatic ties with Moscow.
This kind of arbitrary interpretation of prophecies can only aid the cause of those critics who are only too glad to capitalize on such vagaries to caricature and ridicule the whole belief in a personal Return of Christ to this earth.
Commenting on the statement he wrote in 1970 in The Late Great Planet Earth that “as the United States loses power, western Europe will be forced to unite and become the standard-bearer,” Lindsey writes in 1980 with a sense of pride: “I knew this would happen” (The 1980’s: Countdown to Armageddon, p.
