... Separated by about a degree on the sky, two nice examples are M46 (upper left) 5,400 light-years in the distance and M47 (lower right) only 1,600 light-years away toward the nautical constellation Puppis . Around 300 million years young M46 contains a few hundred stars in a region about 30 light-years across. ... The small, colorful patch of glowing gas in M46 is actually the planetary nebula NGC 2438 - the final phase in the life of a sun-like star billions of years old. ... NGC 602 and Beyond . ...

... 2007 August 9 . Star Cluster Messier 67 . ... Explanation: Gathered at the center of this sharp skyview are the stars of Messier 67 , one of the oldest known open star clusters . In fact, though open star clusters are usually much younger, the stars of M67 are likely around 4 billion years old, about the same age and with about the same elemental abundances as the Sun. ... Still, M67 contains over 500 stars or so and lies some 2,800 light-years away in the constellation Cancer . ...

home publications > mercury . ... Big Clusters, Tiny Galaxies . ... Astronomers struggle to understand why giant star clusters form in the tiniest of galaxies . ... These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

... 2000 August 4 . M15: Dense Globular Star Cluster . ... In fact, only 40,000 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, M15 is one of the most densely packed globular star clusters in our Milky Way Galaxy. This stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of M15 shows thousands of individual stars across the central 10 or so light-years of the cluster, also cataloged as NGC 7078. ... Globular star clusters harbor from a hundred thousand up to a million stars and roam the Milky Way halo. ...

Photon Scattering: Basic Principle of Photon Scattering . Audio Narration is available . No Scattering: Photon Source and Detector . ... For optical photons, scattering goes as wavelength to the -4 power. In the case of blue photons compared to red photons, this means that blue photons are about 10 times more likely to get scattered than red photons. ... Watch the blue photons scatter away from the detector . ... Interstellar dust make stars appear redder than they really are . ...

THE SUBSYSTEMS OF THE MILKY WAY HALO. ... A catalogue of homogeneous fundamental astrophysical parameters for 145 globular clusters is composed on the base of the data of compilative catalogue by Harris (1997) and from another literature. ... In addition, it has large rotation velocity ( V rot =77?33 km/s), appreciable radial and vertical metallicity gradients equal by value, and has the oldest average age (subsystem of the old halo). ... Characteristic parameter of globular cluster subsystems. ...

... Circumstellar Disks in Young Nebulous Clusters . ... HST . ... To take advantage of the enhanced visibility of circumstellar matter externally illuminated in a nebular environment, and to determine if the Orion "proplyds" are unique, we observed four other young nebulous clusters with HST/WFPC2 during Cycle 5. Eight fields were observed in H-alpha and I-band continuum in the nearby H II regions NGC 2024, NGC 2264, and S155. Two fields were observed in V-band in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters. The main goal of our study is a search for new clusters using huge surveys. 168 new clusters have been already discovered by us using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS point source catalog. ... For 141 new clusters, we found their physical parameters using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS catalog and, for a number of clusters, our UBVRI CCD observational magnitudes. ...
