74 Geminorum (f Geminorum) is a K-type giant star in the constellation Gemini. It is located about 640 light-years from Earth based on its Gaia DR3 parallax. The star is often subject to lunar occultations, allowing an accurate measurement of its angular diameter. [1] It has an apparent magnitude of 5.05, making it faintly visible to the naked ...
It is located in the northern hemisphere, about 73 light-years from the Earth, in the constellation of Gemini. [12] It is visually close to Pollux, the brightest star in the constellation. [7] HD 63433 is predicted to approach within 7.33 light-years of the Sun in 1.33 million years. [21] That will make it one of the nearest stars to the Sun.
The meteors will appear to come from the direction of the Gemini constellation, which rises in the east, according to The Planetary Society. “At this time of year, the constellation of Gemini ...
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]
Kappa Geminorum (κ Geminorum, κ Gem) is a binary star system in the northern zodiac constellation of Gemini. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.568. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.07 mas, [1] the system is located about 141 light years distant from the Sun.
