Gemini is dominated by Castor and Pollux, two bright stars that appear relatively very closely together forming an o shape, encouraging the mythological link between the constellation and twinship. The twin above and to the right (as seen from the Northern Hemisphere) is Castor, whose brightest star is α Gem; it is a second-magnitude star and ...
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]
Eta Geminorum (η Geminorum, abbreviated Eta Gem, η Gem), formally named Propus / ˈ p r oʊ p ə s /, [16] [14] is a triple star system in the constellation of Gemini. It is a variable star visible to the naked eye , around 380 light years from the Sun .
Zeta Geminorum (ζ Geminorum, abbreviated Zeta Gem, ζ Gem) is a bright star with cluster components, distant optical components and a likely spectroscopic partner in the zodiac constellation of Gemini — in its south, on the left 'leg' of the twin Pollux. It is a classical Cepheid variable star, of which over 800 have been found in our galaxy.
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. ... Peak activity should occur ...
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.
