    Rediscovered Astronomy releases animations of the planets in our solar system.

    Well, we are meeting our goal of releasing the animations of the planets in our solar system three months ahead of schedule.

    The animations of the main 8 planets have been uploaded. We will upload animations of smaller bodies and dwarf planets later. The animations were created in collaboration with J.J. Del Mar.

    For use and license please see each planet page. You can visit the animations main page here:

    Look Up at the Sky – Mars & Saturn

    Look Up at the sky tonight you should be able to locate Mars and Saturn in a straight line from Earth’s perspective.

    I couldn’t find an available telescope tonight, too bad. Seems I’ll have to acquire my own. But despite what the general public might think, it doesn’t take that much to get hold of a telescope and a digital camera to capture amazing footage of Earth’s companions in the sky.
