The California Nebula (Also known NGC 1499 or Sh2-220) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus.
Spiral nebula surrounding NGC 262, which is one of the largest known galaxies. Ivory Nebula: 1,190,500 ly (365,000 pc) [2] Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) Also called MLAN1 at z=2.31. Another ELAN, called MLAN 10 is nearby. Q0042−2627 nebula 1,040,000 ly (320,000 pc) [10] Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) Around the quasar LBQS 0042-2627, at z=3.280
Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study. [4] This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies , climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops ).
Cuscuta pacifica var. papillata, a parasitic plant found only in the salt marshes of Mendocino county; Eriogonum kelloggii, a species of buckwheat found only on Red Mountain near Leggett; Harmonia guggolziorum, a flowering aster found in two locations near Hopland; Limnanthes bakeri, a meadowfarm plant known in only 20 locations near Willits
Both are noted for their nebulae and young stellar populations, but as in our own galaxy their stars range from the very young to the very old, indicating a long stellar formation history. [ 33 ] The Large Magellanic Cloud was the host galaxy to a supernova ( SN 1987A ), the brightest observed in over four centuries.
A Palmer oak in Jurupa Valley is estimated to be 13,000 to 18,000 years old. The plant, which looks like a sprawling, dark green shrub, is now at the center of a development battle.
Which Southern California native plants survived climate change and mass extinctions 13,000 years ago and still live today? La Brea Tar Pits researchers compiled a list.
It is associated with a dark cloud L1450 (Barnard 205). Estimates of the distance to this nebula range from 980–1,140 ly (300–350 pc). [4] This nebula is in the western part [4] of the Perseus molecular cloud and is a young region of very active star formation, [6] being one of the best-studied objects of its type. [4]
