Space Phenomena

Planetary & Solar-System Phenomena

Strange, beautiful and violent events closer to home — across planets, moons, asteroids and the Solar System.

Planets, moons and small bodies in the Solar System produce weather, volcanism, impacts and magnetic phenomena of their own. Spacecraft, telescopes and ground-based observers track events such as dust storms, meteor showers, eclipses and close approaches by asteroids.
