PKS 0735+178 is a classical BL Lac object in the northern constellation of Gemini. This is one of the brightest objects of its type in the night sky. [5] It has a redshift of z = 0.424, with a luminosity distance of 7,380 million light-years (2,263 Mpc). PKS 0735+178 is a nearly point-like source with an angular size of a milliarcsecond. [3]
NGC 2371-2 is a dual lobed planetary nebula located in the constellation Gemini.Visually, it appears like it could be two separate objects; therefore, two entries were given to the planetary nebula by John Louis Emil Dreyer in the New General Catalogue, so it may be referred to as NGC 2371, NGC 2372, or variations on this name.

Shooting stars will dash across the chilly December sky as one of the top astronomy events of 2022 puts on an impressive performance in the heavens. The Geminids will peak on Tuesday night into ...
HD 63433 is a G-type main sequence star with a radius of 0.912 R ☉, a mass of 0.99 M ☉, an effective temperature of 5640 K and a spectral type G5V. [9] Its properties are quite similar to those of the Sun, which has a spectral type G2V and a temperature of 5772 K. [14] Therefore, it is classified as a solar analog. [9]
The ‘shooting star’ meteors will emanate from the Gemini constellation, which will be relatively well placed in the sky to avoid the worst impacts of the 92 per cent full Moon.
Named after its radiant, the constellation Gemini, the meteor shower is known to be bright and reliable, with NASA estimating 120 meteors per hour at its peak.
