A planet (from Ancient Greek ἀστήρ πλανήτης astēr planētēs, or πλάνης ἀστήρ plánēs astēr, meaning "wandering star") is an astronomical object orbiting a star or stellar remnant that
The term planet is ancient, with ties to history, science, mythology, and religion. Several planets in the Solar System can be seen with the naked eye. These were regarded by many early cultures as divine, or as emissaries of deities. As scientific knowledge advanced, human perception of the planets changed, incorporating a number of disparate objects. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) officially adopted a resolution defining planets within the Solar System. This definition is controversial because it excludes many objects of planetary mass based on where or what they orbit. Although eight of the planetary bodies discovered before 1950 remain "planets" under the modern definition, some celestial bodies, such as Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta (each an object in the solar asteroid belt), and Pluto (the first trans-Neptunian object discovered), that were once considered planets by the scientific community, are no longer viewed as such.

The Earth is the perfect habitat for humans – the statement is true, but unfortunately no longer up to date. Wars, genetic modifications, dangerous viruses, rapidly declining ecosystems and ozone holes – Mother Nature will hardly put up with all this abuse much longer. So, will this planet be habitable for humans one hundred years from now? Two hundred years? A thousand years? The first space body at the top of the list is the Moon, the Earth’s natural satellite. The Moon has a number of advantages over other celestial bodies, one of these being its proximity to our planet. Mars. Every Tom, Dick and Harry now knows that NASA is shooting for a crewed mission to the Red Planet by the 2030s. But will humans manage to survive on Mars long enough? They definitely will! Though not without cer...

The rings of Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are composed of pieces of Pluto-like dwarf planets that strayed too close to the giant worlds long ago, a new study suggests. Astronomers think that thousands of Pluto-size bodies once dwelled in the Kuiper Belt — the ring of frigid objects beyond Neptune's orbit — shortly after the solar system formed. But things changed about 4 billion years ago, the idea goes: At that time, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune migrated a bit, stirring up both the Kuiper Belt and the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The resulting gravitational jostles sent many objects in these two realms careening toward the inner solar system, causing an era of increased cosmic impacts known as the Late Heavy Bombardment. In the new study, a team of researchers foun...
If the planets were the same distance as our Moon, this is how it would look.

The lights are frozen, see them spinning 'round my head.
Planets turning, but whose to say they're really there?
Because illusions serve to trick my mind and I just wanna go out tonight.
Hate the thought of being here alone.
But there's nothing going on down the streets, now the bars have all shut down.
The Suego Faults is just a dream that I'm waking up from now.
And I'd love to watch you spin around, but I'm running out of time.
The skies been playing with colossal fires,
But I can't escape the feeling of while I'm looking left, looking right,
There's something missing out there tonight!
I never seem to find what I desire.
So I'll spill out under the frozen lights, and I'll watch them until I'm drunk.
And if tomorrow the sun should rise, a new day has begun.
But I spend my whole life spinning around and never moving on.
Come on, fighter, here's what I'm telling you.
A Dreamer, love songs; it's all you'll ever do.
So fight on, you'll survive it.
You'll go spinning on your own.
Come on, fighter.
Here's what I'm telling you.
A Dreamer, love songs; it's all you'll ever do.
So fight on, you'll survive it.
