What planet is in the eastern sky just after sunset in January 2013?
You are seeing Jupiter, which is now in Taurus, near the Pleiades and Aldebaran. Taurus is up all night in the winter, so you can see Jupiter in the east after sunset and all night long as Taurus moves across the winter night sky.

How many solar eclipses would occur each year with a flat orbit?
The moon's orbit is flat. That is, every point in its orbit lies in the same plane.But that plane isn't in the plane of the Earth'sorbit.If it were, then we would have a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse every 29.531days ... 37 of each kind every 3 years. (I'm not sure, but I think the solar eclipsescould not be total anywhere outside the Earth's tropics.)Anyway, eclipses would be so common that nobody would give them a secondthought, any more than anyone stands and marvels at a sunrise or sunset. Itwould be just something that happens.
