During the early '80s, a group of young and aspiring actors were all propelled into the spotlight around the same time after they starred in a slew of coming-of-age films together - earning the nickname the Brat Pack. For years, they were Hollywood royalty - but one by one, many members of the Brat Pack unfortunately began to cripple under the intense fame and descend on a downward spiral fueled by incessant partying, drinking, and drug use. A lot had their careers derailed by a series of controversies ranging from a sex tape (with a 16-year-old girl) to a felony assault charge. Soon the question arose, would the squad who once reigned the movie industry suffer the same fate as many other child and teen stars that have had to leave the spotlight for good, or if they would ultimately overcome the magnitude of scandals and bounce back? As the world gears up for the documentary Brats, FEMAIL has revealed what really happened to each of the Brat Pack members, and broke down the many difficulties they faced over the years, from drug addiction battles and run-ins with the law to multiple failed marriages and an explosive cheating scandal.

The moon will appear in the night's sky as an extra large and bright orb twice in the space of a calendar month. A'supermoon' occurs when a full moon nearly aligns with persia, the moon's orbit nearer to the Earth (bottom right). Depending on the time of year, a supermoon will appear up to 24% larger and 30 percent brighter than a full moon. The supermoon seen from Cornwall (left) and Los Angeles (top right) is depicted in the images above.

Yesterday, the gas giant came closest to Earth in nearly 60 years, and today it will approach opposition, implying that the sun will appear opposite the sun to those on Earth. Jupiter will rise in the east as the sun sets in the west. According to NASA, the planet's nearest approach to Earth hardly ever coincides with opposition, ensuring that this year's observations will be 'extraordinary.' According to the US space agency, the overlap of the two events, which will not take place again until 2139, would make it appear brighter and larger in the sky, with the best views on Monday night.

In the prestigious Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, Comet Leonard's spectacular photograph was selected first prize. Comet Leonard was first detected in January 2021 by astronomer Gregory J Leonard at Arizona's Mount Lemmon Infrared Observatory. On December 20, 2021, when the planet was 21.6 million miles (34.9 million km) from our planet, it made its closest approach to Earth on December 2021. On January 3, 2022, it was at its closest point to the sun, at a distance of 57.2 million km (92 million km) from our star. The comet is now erupting out of our Solar System, and it will not be seen by Earthlings again. On Christmas Day, Austrian photographer Gerald Rhemann captured the winning photograph, titled Disconnection Event. It shows that a piece of the comet's gas tail is disconnected and carried away by the solar wind.

As Saturn makes its nearest approach to Earth this year, an astronomical photographer captures a sharp snapshot of the planet

While Saturn made its closest approach to Earth this year, an astrophotographer captured his best picture of the planet ever. In an annual celestial event known as 'opposition,' our planet moved almost straight between Saturn and the sun on Sunday. With the naked eye, the Gas Giant is nearest to us and in full swing, so it would be a fantastic view even with the naked eye. On Sunday, Andrew McCarthy dodged the monsoon rain of Arizona in search of clearer skies to get a glimpse of the ringed planet above Los Angeles, US. He shot more than 100,000 pictures of Saturn from the roof of a parking garage before gluing them together in this never-before-seen shot. The result is out of this world as the planet's legendary rings illuminate the planet against the dim sky, with some of Saturn's many moons shining like stars around it.
