This is a list of hottest stars so far discovered (excluding degenerate stars), arranged by decreasing temperature. The stars with temperatures higher than 60,000 K are included. List
This is a list of the hottest exoplanets so far discovered, specifically those with temperatures greater than 2,500 K (2,230 °C; 4,040 °F) for exoplanets irradiated by a nearby star and greater than 2,000 K (1,730 °C; 3,140 °F) for self-luminous exoplanets.
This is the nearest red giant to the Earth, and the fourth brightest star in the night sky. Pollux (β Geminorum) 9.06 ± 0.03 [95] AD The nearest giant star to the Earth. Spica (α Virginis A) 7.47 ± 0.54 [101] One of the nearest supernova candidates and the sixteenth-brightest star in the night sky. Regulus (α Leonis A) 4.16 × 3.14 [102]
The gamma-ray burst GRB 971214 measured in 1998 was at the time thought to be the most energetic event in the observable universe, with the equivalent energy of several hundred supernovae. Later studies pointed out that the energy was probably the energy of one supernova which had been "beamed" towards Earth by the geometry of a relativistic jet.
Step aside, Paul Rudd. A new star has been crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive, and it's none other than fellow Avenger Chris Evans. The big news was announced Monday night on The Late Show with ...
WR 102 was first mentioned as the possible optical counterpart to a peculiar X-ray source GX 3+1. [6] However, it became clear that it was a separate object and in 1971 it was highlighted as a luminous star with unusual O VI emission lines in its spectrum. [7]
“Reliably recorded” is the key phrase when it comes to the hottest place on Earth. On July 10, 1913, the mercury at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California, spiked to 134 degrees Fahrenheit ...
25 kK, mean temperature of the universe 10,000 years after the Big Bang; 26 kK on the white dwarf Sirius B; 28 kK in record cationic lightning over Earth; 29 kK on surface of Alnitak (easternmost star of Orion's belt) 4–8–40–160 kK [clarification needed] on white dwarfs; 30–400 kK on a planetary nebula's asymptotic giant helium star
