after which the nebula is named. Straddling the celestial equator also means that the constellation of Orion is visible from most places on the planet, or at least those located between latitudes +85°
While the Lion Nebula is quite large (40 arc mins in size), it is too dim to observe visually through the eyepiece of a telescope. The Lion Nebula (Sharpless 132) captured using narrowband filters. Trevor Jones. Another version of the Lion Nebula. RedCat 51 + ZWO ASI2600MC Air. (7 h...

Below his belt you can see a curved line of 3 stars, which represent the giant’s sword. The middle star is, in actual fact, not a star but a nebula. TheOrion Nebula (M42)is a hugecloud of dust and gasalmost 25 light-years across inside which new stars are being formed. It is1...
Star birth can take millions of years and create families of stars. Astronomers see examples of star formation in nebulae throughout our own Milky Way Galaxy and in many other galaxies. The most famous and closest stellar nursery to Earth is the Orion Nebula, which lies about 1,500 light-ye...
Some astronomers theorise that the Sun may have captured Oort Cloud cometary material from the outer disks of other stars that were forming in the same nebula as our star. The Oort Cloud is a reserve of cometary nuclei that contain ices dating back to the origin of the solar system. ...
Located in the Tarantula Nebula, the star R136a1 is the most massive star in the observable universe. It has around 300 times the total mass of the Sun. 10. Formation and Evolution of Stars Stars take birth from dense molecular clouds, which are mostly comprised of molecular hydrogen and ...
Astronomers think that the Sun (and the planets) formed from the solar nebula about 4.59 billion years ago. The Sun is in the main sequence stage right now, slowly using up its hydrogen fuel. But at some point, in about 5 billion years from now, the Sun will enter the red giant phase...
Composite optical/X-ray image of the Crab Nebula which contains Crab Pulsar 16.During the month of August 1977, a group of astronomers reported a strong radio signal from an unknown origin, which was detected with the help of Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope. The signal was...
