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.
IC 485 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Gemini, located 375 million light years from Earth. It was discovered by the Austrian astronomer, Rudolf Spitaler on March 6, 1891. [1] It has an estimated diameter of 1.35' x 0.32' arcmin, meaning the galaxy is about 135,000 light years across. [2] IC 485 is a candidate disc-maser ...
Gemini is one of the constellations of the zodiac and is located in the northern celestial hemisphere. It was one of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century AD astronomer Ptolemy , and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations today.
Rho Geminorum (ρ Gem) is a star system that lies 59 light-years away in the constellation of Gemini, about 5 degrees west of Castor.The system consists of a primary bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, a faint secondary which has rarely been observed even professionally, and a distant, somewhat bright tertiary which requires telescopic equipment for observation.
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 ...
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]
Theta Geminorum (θ Gem, θ Geminorum) is a single [11] star in the northern zodiac constellation of Gemini. It is visual to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.59. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 17.25 mas, [1] it is about 189 light years distant from the Sun.
37 Geminorum is a solitary [11] Sun-like star located at the northwest part of the northern constellation of Gemini, about three degrees to the east of the bright star Epsilon Geminorum. [12] The apparent visual magnitude of 37 Geminorum is 5.74, [2] which is just bright enough to be visible to the naked eye on a dark night.
