The solar apex is in the constellation of Hercules near the star Vega. [1]For more than 30 years before 1986 the speed of the Sun towards the solar apex was taken to be about 20 km/s [2] but all later studies give a smaller component in the vector toward galactic longitude 90°, reducing overall speed to about 13.4 km/s.

Map of the area containing stars of the Scorpius–Centaurus association Main associations of the Solar antapex half of the galactic plane, with Sco-Cen on the left. The Scorpius–Centaurus association (sometimes called Sco–Cen or Sco OB2) is the nearest OB association to the Sun.
An hourglass economy is an economy that produces more upper and lower classes, causing a decline in the middle class. [1] An example would be during the Industrial Revolution when the introduction of efficient machinery created stratification of the classes with more lower paying unskilled jobs.
The number of craters should be higher in the hemisphere at the apex of the orbital movement than at the antapex. [54] However, it is the anti-Uranian hemisphere which is densest in craters. [ 55 ] This situation could be explained by a past event having caused a reorientation of Miranda's axis of rotation by 90° compared to that which is ...
The band spent the summer of 2006 on the Van's Warped Tour once again. The band began to play a new song in their setlist, "My Antapex", from the then-forthcoming LP, Black Earth Tiger. In January 2007, the band entered the recording studio with producer Terry Date to begin recording Black Earth Tiger. The album was released on August 28, 2007.
Zeta Canis Majoris, or ζ Canis Majoris, also named Furud / ˈ f jʊər ə d /, [14] is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Canis Major.This system has an apparent visual magnitude of +3.0, [2] making it one of the brighter stars in the constellation and hence readily visible to the naked eye.
Paranal Observatory nights. [3] The concept of noctcaelador tackles the aesthetic perception of the night sky. [4]Depending on local sky cloud cover, pollution, humidity, and light pollution levels, the stars visible to the unaided naked eye appear as hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of white pinpoints of light in an otherwise near black sky together with some faint nebulae or clouds ...
A dark nebula or absorption nebula is a type of interstellar cloud, particularly molecular clouds, that is so dense that it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from objects behind it, such as background stars and emission or reflection nebulae.
