... October 18, 1999 . NGC 3603: An Active Star Cluster . ... Explanation: NGC 3603 is home to a massive star cluster, thick dust pillars, and a star about to explode . The central open cluster contains about 2000 bright stars, each of which is much brighter and more massive than our Sun . ... These stars are less massive than our Sun, demonstrating that great numbers of low-mass stars also form in active starburst regions . ... About APOD > . ...
... 2010 December 2 . Hartley 2 Star Cluster Tour . ... Explanation: Early in November, small but active Comet Hartley 2 (103/P Hartley) became the fifth comet imaged close-up by a spacecraft from planet Earth . ... Still a target for binoculars or small telescopes from dark sky locations, the comet is captured in this composite image from November 27, sharing the rich 2.5 degree wide field of view with some star clusters well known to earthbound skygazers. ...

This page is devoted to information on Supernova 1999eb in NGC 664 Basic information on this SN, including the last reported brightness, on this Supernova can be found on the main supernova page. Information on the original web pages for many of these images can be found on the Supernova links web page. ... Normally, I wait until I get about 6 or so images before starting a web page for a specific SN, with 3 images and a spectrum the first day, I decided to get started while I had time. ...

It is supported by 15 EU member states, including new member states, and thus integrates the entire European optical interferometry community. ...
ABSOLUTE PROPER MOTIONS OF 331 OPEN CLUSTERS . ... The proper motions of stars in the fields of 331 open clusters were taken from Four-Million Star Catalog (4M-catalog) of positions and proper motions (Volchkov et al. ... The absolute proper motions for 21 young open clusters have been derived by comparison of precise relative proper motions of individual stars and their corresponding absolute proper motions. ... Sign of proper motions in RA . ... 0.0001 arcsec/yr . ... rms error in RA proper motion . ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
