Since the star can never be focused perfectly, 84 per cent of the light will concentrate into a single disk, and 16 per cent into a system of surrounding rings. A compact telescope in which light passes through a correcting lens at the front of the telescope, then reflects off a primary mirror back up to a secondary mirror, which directs the light through a hole in the primary and out the back of the scope; a popular telescope for backyard observers

Another important difference is that the outer planets are largely made of gas and water, while the inner planets are made up almost entirely of rock and dust. Scientists define the boundaries of the Solar System as being the border of the Heliosphere, or at the place where the solar winds from the Sun mix with the winds from other stars
Is There Really Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth?
http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~matthewt/yeclaimsbeta.html Competition: low
Most scientists, however, reject Amino Acid Racemization Dating (AAR) as unreliable because the rate of racemization can be highly dependent on temperature and pressure, and can also be subject to contamination. A few other pieces of "young-Earth evidence" are also repeated multiple times (each time with slight variation), with the effect of increasing the total number of claims, but none on as large a scale as the oceanic abundances
Why Pluto is No Longer a Planet

One version of the definition would have actually boosted the number of planets to 12; Pluto was still a planet, and so were Eris and even Ceres, which had been thought of as the largest asteroid. A different proposal kept the total at 9, defining the planets as just the familiar ones we know without any scientific rationale, and a third would drop the number of planets down to 8, and Pluto would be out of the planet club

asteroid: Definition from Answers.com
http://www.answers.com/topic/asteroids Competition: low
Many asteroids are so small that their sizes cannot be measured directly; in many cases, their sizes have been estimated from their brightness and distances. In the last years of the 18th century, Baron Franz Xaver von Zach organized a group of 24 astronomers to search the sky for the missing planet predicted at about 2.8 AU from the Sun by the Titius-Bode law, partly because of the discovery, by Sir William Herschel in 1781, of the planet Uranus at the distance predicted by the law

Wilhelm Olbers, an amateur astronomer who discovered the second known asteroid, suggested that asteroids were the remnants of a planet that had been shattered by an explosion. Theories on Asteroid Formation After it became obvious that there was not a planet between Mars and Jupiter, astronomers began to make theories explaining the origins of the many small bodies called asteroids

These compounds arrived in the inner planets after their initial formation, most likely brought by impacts of planetesimals formed in the outskirts of the solar system (Q: What was Jupiter's role in bringing water to Earth?). Formation of moon systems As the early jovian planets captured large amounts of gas, the same process that formed the solar nebula -- contraction, spinning, flattening and heating -- formed similar but smaller disks of material around these planets
http://www.solarviews.com/eng/comet.htm Competition: low
The Sun's radiation pressure and solar wind accelerate materials away from the comet's head at differing velocities according to the size and mass of the materials. A second possible explanation is that the X-rays are produced from the violent collision between the comet material and the supersonic "wind" of plasma and particles streaming away from the Sun

Oort cloud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud Competition: low
Just as the Moon's tidal force bends and deforms the Earth's oceans, causing the tides to rise and fall, the galactic tide also bends and distorts the orbits of bodies in the outer Solar System, pulling them towards the galactic centre. According to these models, the number of collisions early in the Solar System's history was so great that most comets were destroyed before they reached the Oort cloud

The image was taken at a distance of approximately 500 km (311 miles) and shows Wild 2's nucleus, which is thought to be about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) in diameter. The smallest asteroids that we've observed in detail are only tens of meters in size, but there are probably a great number of small rocks in space that are currently too small for us to detect
Solar System Fluff
http://www.astronomynotes.com/solfluf/s8.htm Competition: low
Jupiter and perhaps Saturn tend to deflect long period comets completely out of the solar system (or gobble them up as Jupiter did with Shoemaker Levy-9). The comets passing close to a jovian planet are deflected by the planet's gravity into an orbit with a shorter period, only decades to a few thousand years long
