IRAS 04125+2902 is a M-type star and a T Tauri variable [6] located in the Taurus Molecular Cloud, 160 parsecs (520 light-years) from Earth. [4] This young protostar has 70% of the Sun's mass, 1.45 times the Sun's radius and an effective temperature of 4,080 K (3,810 °C; 6,880 °F).
The origin of a mysterious throbbing light racing behind clouds across parts of the northeastern U.S. and Canada over the weekend has been identified as a meteor, according to the American Meteor ...
The fixed stars includes all the stars visible to the naked eye other than the Sun, as well as the faint band of the Milky Way. Due to their star-like appearance when viewed with the naked eye, the few visible individual nebulae and other deep-sky objects also are counted among the fixed stars. Approximately 6,000 stars are visible to the naked ...
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
The photographers came with their photos in hand, anxious to show the mysterious light show they had captured. The purple-pink streak of light indicative of Steve is shown in this image captured ...
Our current view of the night sky is “deteriorating” so rapidly that a clear change will be noticeable in a generation, researchers said. Over half the stars we see now won’t be visible in ...
The green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) making its closest pass by Earth today originated from the Oort Cloud, a cosmic shell of debris encircling the farthest reaches of the Solar System.
The Pea galaxies, also known as Green Peas (GPs), are compact oxygen-rich emission line galaxies that were discovered at redshift between z = 0.112 and 0.360. [1] These low-mass galaxies have an upper size limit generally no bigger than 16,300 light-years (5,000 pc) across, and typically they reside in environments less than two-thirds the density of normal galaxy environments.
