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 ...

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 ...
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 rare light spectacle has caused a bit of buzz this year as the sun is entering its most active period, ramping up the number of dazzling natural phenomena that appear in the night sky — and ...
Several astronomers of the Middle-East began to make detailed descriptions of stars and nebulae, and would make more accurate calendars based on the movements of these stars and planets. In Europe , astronomers focused more on devices to help study the celestial objects and creating textbooks, guides, and universities to teach people more about ...
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.
