Haack, I am not sure what you are referring to, but Castor has absolutely nothing to do with anything else happening in the sky.

Koichi,
There are no known planets in the Castor system. The fact that there appears to be a planet orbitting Pollux says nothing about Castor or any other star. Also, since Castor is actually a complex multiple star system, gravitational instabilities would make planetary orbits problematic and certainly complicated. That is not to say impossible, but by current understanding, it is probably unlikely that planets in orbits of long-time stability would exist. (But, who knows?)

If Pollux has a Jovian planets orbiting around it, so do Castor has any planets orbiting around it? Do anyone think that any planet ever orbits around any star of Castor?

Debbie, look quick. They are almost gone now and will not return until late summer to early fall, and then in the early morning.
