    This narrow-angle image taken by NASA's Cassini shows the moon in August 1999. (NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute) The moon is the most obvious and familiar object in Earth's night sky — constant, consistent, predictable in its monthly cycles and its daily rising and setting. Astronomers understand the moon's movements so thoroughly that even a break from the routine, like an eclipse, can be anticipated 1,000 years in advance. But we don't know the moon as well as we think. In fact, for years..

    Spying on Our Stellar Neighbors: New Strides Made in Alpha Centauri Planet Hunt
    GRAPEVINE, Texas — Earth's lonely sun is an outlier: most of the nearest sun-like stars have a stellar buddy or two in orbit with them. And researchers are getting closer to probing those complicated systems to directly image their planets.
