In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [18] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Sadalmelik for Alpha Aquarii (WDS J22058-0019 A) on 21 August 2016, and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names (Delta Cassiopeiae was given the ...
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [28] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 [29] included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN; which included Albireo for β¹ Cygni. It is now so entered in the IAU ...

Celestial cartography, [1] uranography, [2] [3] astrography or star cartography [citation needed] is the aspect of astronomy and branch of cartography concerned with mapping stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects on the celestial sphere. Measuring the position and light of charted objects requires a variety of instruments and techniques.
From a bar in the clouds to finding more water from the Moon, outer space is constantly surprising us. The post 24 Astronomy Facts You Never Learned in School appeared first on Reader's Digest.
SN 2016aps (also known as PS16aqy and AT2016aps) is the brightest and most energetic supernova explosion ever recorded. [2] [3] It released more energy than ASASSN-15lh. [4]In addition to the sheer amount of energy released, an unusually large amount of the energy was released in the form of radiation, probably due to the interaction of the supernova ejecta and a previously lost gas shell.
Astrostatistics is a discipline which spans astrophysics, statistical analysis and data mining. [1] It is used to process the vast amount of data produced by automated scanning of the cosmos, to characterize complex datasets, and to link astronomical data to astrophysical theory.
