In 210,000 years, Vega will become the brightest star in the night sky, [35] and will peak in brightness in 290,000 years with an apparent magnitude of –0.81. [35] This star lies at a vertex of a widely spaced asterism called the Summer Triangle, which consists of Vega plus the two first-magnitude stars Altair, in Aquila, and Deneb in Cygnus ...
Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type. The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M , K , F , G , A , B and O . It may be later expanded to other types, such as S , D or C .
Abhijit (Hindi: अभिजित) is a unique nakshatra and the 28th nakshatra in the Indian system of 28 nakshatras, out of which 27 are traditional nakshatras and this one is an intercalary nakshatra.
The defining vertices of this imaginary triangle are at Altair, Deneb, and Vega, each of which is the brightest star of its constellation (Aquila, Cygnus, and Lyra, respectively). The greatest declination is +45° and lowest is +9° meaning the three can be seen from all places in the Northern Hemisphere and from the home of most people ...
Tanabata (Japanese: たなばた or 七夕, meaning "Evening of the Seventh"), also known as the Star Festival (星祭り, Hoshimatsuri), is a Japanese festival originating from the Chinese Qixi Festival.
Vega was the first star other than the Sun to be photographed, [21] as well as the first to have a clear spectrum recorded, showing absorption lines for the first time. [22] The star was the first single main-sequence star other than the Sun to be known to emit X-rays, [23] and is surrounded by a circumstellar debris disk, similar to the Kuiper ...
The zero point is used to calibrate a system to the standard magnitude system, as the flux detected from stars will vary from detector to detector. [2] Traditionally, Vega is used as the calibration star for the zero point magnitude in specific pass bands (U, B, and V), although often, an average of multiple stars is used for higher accuracy.
