Remarkably Bright Creatures is a novel by American author Shelby Van Pelt.It was published in May 2022 by Ecco Press.It has been on the New York Times hardcover fiction best-seller list multiple times.
With a radiated isotropic-energy of around 1.2×10 55 erg [9] or even 3×10 55 erg, [55] to as high as 1.4×10 57 erg, [56] GRB 221009A, together with events such as 1.5×10 53 AT 2021lwx, the 10 61 erg MS 0735.6+7421 event, and the 5×10 61 erg Ophiuchus Supercluster eruption, are among the most energetic events ever.
The first star in the list, Godzilla [1] — an LBV in the distant Sunburst galaxy — is probably the brightest star ever observed, although it is believed to be undergoing a temporary episode of increased luminosity that has lasted at least seven years, in a similar manner to the Great Eruption of Eta Carinae that was witnessed in the 19th ...
A star is a massive luminous spheroid astronomical object made of plasma that is held together by its own gravity.Stars exhibit great diversity in their properties (such as mass, volume, velocity, stage in stellar evolution, and distance from Earth) and some of the outliers are so disproportionate in comparison with the general population that they are considered extreme.
A recent analysis of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in 2007 has found an irregularity of the temperature fluctuation of the cosmic microwave background within the vicinity of the constellation Eridanus with analysis found to be 70 microkelvins cooler than the average CMB temperature. One speculation is that a void could cause ...
3C 273 is a quasar located at the center of a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Virgo.It was the first quasar ever to be identified and is the visually brightest quasar in the sky as seen from Earth, with an apparent visual magnitude of 12.9. [2]
SN 1006 was a supernova that is likely the brightest observed stellar event in recorded history, reaching an estimated −7.5 visual magnitude, [3] and exceeding roughly sixteen times the brightness of Venus.
The comet was discovered in the constellation of Equuleus by Father Nicolas Sarabat, a professor of mathematics, at Nîmes in the early morning of August 1, 1729. [7] At the time of discovery the comet was making its closest approach to Earth at a distance of 3.1 AU (460 million km; 290 million mi) and had a solar elongation of 155 degrees.
