... December 31, 1995 . The X-ray Sources of M31 . Credit: ROSAT , MPE , NASA . Explanation: Just like our own Milky Way Galaxy , the nearest major galaxy M31 has many star systems spewing high energy radiation . ... The X-ray sources in M31 occur in globular clusters , the spiral arms , and near the galaxy's center. ... M31 has more X-ray sources near its center than our Galaxy, and the reason for this is currently unknown. ... About APOD | ... NASA Technical Rep.: ...

... 2000 September 21 . XZ Tauri System Ejects Gas Bubble . ... Explanation: Why is the binary star system XZ Tauri emitting a hot bubble of expanding gas? ... The XZ Tauri star system is known to reside in the Taurus star forming region located about 500 light-years away. ... The bubble has been expanding over the past thirty years and now extends to nearly fifteen times the binary separation. Tomorrow's picture: Star Cluster . ... About APOD | ...

... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...

Prague, August 16, 2006 . ... Large classes (groups of types) : . ... Eruptive variable stars . ... Pulsating variable stars . ... Rotating variable stars . ...
