In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to go out and watch a close pairing of two naked-eye planets: Venus and Saturn. The two will be in the southwestern evening sky, and will be closest during the week of January 19.

Earth ejecta, for instance, could hold Earth life.

Planetary scientists simulated past events on Venus to determine why Venus and Earth are so different. They found geological and atmospheric processes transformed Venus into an extreme planet.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope reveal GJ 1214 b, a unique exoplanet with a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, challenging typical planetary classifications and offering new insights into planetary formation and evolution.

G3 (ATLAS) should be visible from the southern hemisphere, and possibly also the northern hemisphere, over the next few days

One of the many advantages of being in space is having a front-row seat to the most anticipated cosmic events.

Jupiter's Great Red Spot storm, which usually appears dark-red, can be seen shining a lurid blue color in an ultraviolet image of the planet.

SEE ALSO: NASA scientist viewed first Voyager images. What he saw gave him chills. Venus and Earth, although they've taken two dramatically different climatic roads, are considered sibling planets.

Skywatchers can spot Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in the night sky with the naked eye, but two other planets might need a telescope to be seen.

Look, up in the sky, it's multiple planets. Throughout January, a quartet of planets are visible to the naked eye — Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars — according to NASA. "Jupiter, Saturn and Mars should be very easy to see.
