This .64 day value, coupled with a metallicity of −1.65, provides evidence that M2 follows the Oosterhoff Gap phenomena. This is an observed gap in the grouping of type I and type II clusters in the Milky Way on a metallicity vs average RRab pulsation period plot. [17] M2 is a bit of an anomaly in reference to Oosterhoff type.
The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and has an H II region .
For example, Messier 1 is a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula, and the great spiral Andromeda Galaxy is M31. Further inclusions followed; the first addition came from Nicolas Camille Flammarion in 1921, who added Messier 104 after finding Messier's side note in his 1781 edition exemplar of the catalogue.
The Omega Nebula is between 5,000 and 6,000 light-years from Earth and it spans some 15 light-years in diameter. The cloud of interstellar matter of which this nebula is a part is roughly 40 light-years in diameter and has a mass of 30,000 solar masses. [3] The total mass of the Omega Nebula is an estimated 800 solar masses. [4]
In 2003, using the infrared surface brightness fluctuations (I-SBF) and adjusting for the new period-luminosity value and a metallicity correction of −0.2 mag dex −1 in (O/H), an estimate of 2.57 ± 0.06 million light-years (1.625 × 10 11 ± 3.8 × 10 9 astronomical units) was derived. A 2004 Cepheid variable method estimated the distance ...

Technically, anything over 20 years old can be coined "vintage." But when you truly think of items worth this title, your brain doesn't go to Beanie Babies. Instead, it conjures up images of vinyl...
