... Bad Astronomy . ... Bad Astronomy : The seasons are caused by the change in the distance of the Earth to the Sun. ... The change in distance of the Earth to the Sun is a very minor player. ... Well, not completely wrong; certainly the Earth's distance from the Sun has something to do with the temperature, but it is a relatively minor effect. ... Basically, the temperature depends only weakly on distance changes; the temperature goes as the inverse square root of the distance of the planet to the Sun...

... August 28, 1996 . NGC 5882: A Small Planetary Nebula . ... Pictured above is the planetary nebula NGC 5882, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope . Although planetary nebulae can appear similar to planets like Uranus and Neptune , they are actually gas clouds surrounding stars typically hundreds of light years away. Planetary nebula form when a typical star completes fusion in its core and ejects an outer envelope of gas - usually about 10 percent of the star's initial mass. ...

... STScI-PRC99-13 HUBBLE CLICKS IMAGES OF IO SWEEPING ACROSS JUPITER While hunting for volcanic plumes on Io, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured these images of the volatile moon sweeping across the giant face of Jupiter. Only a few weeks before these dramatic images were taken, the orbiting telescope snapped a portrait of one of Io's volcanoes spewing sulfur dioxide "snow." ... Astronomers increased the color contrast and added false colors to the image to make the faint plume visible. ...
