Some comets orbit the Sun on a regular basis, but others come in from deep space, a region known as the Oort Cloud. What causes them to make this journey, and will we ever be able to explore the Oort Cloud?

One of the many interesting finds made by the Cassini orbiter before it crashed into Saturn was evidence of a hybrid, toxic ice cloud above Titan's southern pole.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - Elon Musk's extraordinary vision of an era when re-flown rockets are offered as a 'routine service' rather than the exception is a 'major sea change getting closer' to fruition with each passing day thanks to SpaceX, said SES CTO Martin Halliwell in an exclusive interview with Universe Today, following the stunning sunset blastoff of the SES-11 UHDTV commercial satellite on another 'flight-proven' Falcon 9 booster that also re-landed - thus completing another remarkable round of rocket recovery and recycling or 'launch, land and relaunch!'

Up early Sunday morning? Or perhaps, as we often do, you're "pulling an all-nighter," out observing until the break of dawn. Well, the clockwork celestial mechanics of the Universe has a treat in store on the morning of October 15th, as the waning crescent Moon occults (passes in front of) the bright star Regulus (Alpha Leonis the "Little King" or "Heart of the Lion") for the contiguous United States, Mexico and southern Canada.
