Question by be quiet and drive far away: Could there be lone planets floating through space not orbiting anything?
Could one enter our solar system? Would Jupiter (and us) survive if an Earth size planet hit it?
Best answer:
Answer by Andrewyes, i think they say it as a theory. They are called "rouge" planets.
One can enter our solar system, but as to if they can hit us. I think that depends on gravitational pull

If it happens, I guess it would be rare. My question is; can a solar eclipse happen in a sunset or sunrise ?

Answer by Haydee RNot being an astronomer, my guess would be yes.
If you think about it the world is constantly rotating. When it's 7 pm in Italy it's 1 pm in NYC, therefore it would be possible. Since it would be sunset and/or sunrise somewhere in the world while the eclipse is happening. Its just a matter of where you are and what time zone.

Q&A: What astrological phenomena were occurring when the Sun transitted during January and February 1962?
Question by cire: What astrological phenomena were occurring when the Sun transitted during January and February 1962?
I recall that people born during Aquarius in 1962 have extraordinary planetary influences. Note: The British singing sensation Susan Boyle mentioned the fact that she was 47, born in 1962 or perhaps 1963. Tellingly, she very well might be a member of this elite group. Anyone know Susan's birthday?

Answer by Cheshire KittyThere was a total solar eclipse in February of 1962.
"The amazing total solar eclipse of February 5, 1962 displays an enormous charge of planets in Aquarius (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, ALL 7 traditional planets), with Uranus, Aquarius ruler, conjunct with Regulus, the most powerful fixed star in heaven."(1)
That was the only major astrological event that I can think of but here (2) is a full ephemeris of the year for your reference.
As for Ms. Boyle, we'll have to wait a bit until they publish her birthdate and then we'll know if your theory is correct. I couldn't find her birthdate on any of the fansites.
Wouldn't it be awesome if you're right?
