The Whirlpool Galaxy lies at a distance of 23 [2] to 31 million light-years from Earth. [18] Based on the 1991 measurement by the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies using the D 25 isophote at the B-band, the Whirlpool Galaxy has a diameter of 23.58 kiloparsecs (76,900 light-years). [2] [5] Overall the galaxy is about 88% the size of ...
SN 2005cs was a supernova in the spiral galaxy M51, [3] known as the Whirlpool Galaxy. It was a type II-P core-collapse supernova, discovered June 28, 2005 by Wolfgang Kloehr, a German amateur astronomer. [5] The event was positioned at an offset of 15″ west and 78″ south of the galactic nucleus of M51. [2]
He understates the speed at which the Sun orbits the "galactic central point" by an order of magnitude – the actual approximate average speed is 12,336,000 miles a day or 514,000 mph, as opposed to the speeds of "1 million miles a day" and "40,000 miles an hour" mentioned in the song (the latter was rendered in later performances as "400,000 ...
SN 1994I is a Type Ic supernova discovered on April 2, 1994 in the Whirlpool Galaxy by amateur astronomers Tim Puckett and Jerry Armstrong of the Atlanta Astronomy Club.Type Ic supernova are a rare type of supernova that result from the explosion of a very massive star that has shed its outer layers of hydrogen and helium.
The supernova peaked near apparent magnitude 12.1 on 19 June 2011. [8] Emission spectra indicated that the explosion was a type II supernova, in which a massive star collapses once nuclear fusion has ceased in its core. [4] SN2011dh was the third supernova to be recorded in the Whirlpool galaxy since 1994 (following SN 1994I and SN 2005cs). [10]
As the game uses very little music, many of Hoshino's contributions were unused, though some unused tracks were later used in Evergrace. The same year, he contributed music for Echo Night. [1] In 1999, Hoshino composed the soundtrack of Armored Core: Master of Arena with Tsukasa Saitoh and Keiichiro Segawa, and had since written music for the ...
An international research team has successfully drilled and retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter-long) ice core from Antarctica that dates back 1.2 million years.
The Clock is a film by video artist Christian Marclay.It is a looped 24-hour video supercut (montage of scenes from film and television) that feature clocks or timepieces. . The artwork itself functions as a clock: its presentation is synchronized with the local time, resulting in the time shown in a scene being the actual t
