Bright spot.Reports that the brightest nova since 1975 appeared in the constellation Cygnus last week near the bright star Deneb. Nova Cygni 1992 reached magnitude 4.2, making it easily visible to the naked eye.EBSCO_AspNew Scientist
Instead, look for the cross formed by stars in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. Vega is the bright star under one of the swan's "wing." Depending on the time of year and your latitude on Earth, you might see Cygnus directly overhead or in the northern part of the sky. 5. It ...
It was on such nights that I realized that I could see a number of what appeared to be huge dark nebulae stretching from Cygnus in the north down past either side of the Cepheus Star Cloud. The nebulae extended almost all the way to Polaris on the star cloud's eastern flank and curved...
Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, is thebrightest starin our night-time sky. It's also thesixth closest starto Earth, at a distance of 8.6 light-years. (A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year). The name "Sirius" comes from the ancient Greek word for "scorching...
Supernova remnants A supermassive star at the end of its life will explode ejecting the outer layers of the star into interstellar space. The most famous example is the Crab nebula which is the supernova remnant of a star that exploded in 1054....
“Now people the world over can know that they will see a wondrous guest star shining as the brightest in the sky for a month or so, being pointed at by the Arrow just below Cygnus, the Swan,” said Schaefer.
(μ) Sagittarii. The asteroid is located 2.5°–4° northwest of that star through mid-June. Despite its location in star-rich Sagittarius, Vesta has little competition from similarly bright stars, making it easy to spot. Dates shown are for 0 hours Universal Time. For U.S. time zones,...
In 2011, the Fermi-LAT satellite observed extended 𝛾γ-ray emissions associated with the superbubble surrounding the Cygnus OB2 region, then called “Cygnus Cocoon”, for the first time confirming the hypothesis proposed by [19], that star forming regions are able to accelerate particles. ...
