... 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 > . ...
... 2008 January 10 . Active Galaxy Centaurus A . Credit: X-ray - NASA , CXC , R.Kraft ( CfA ), et al. ... Explanation: A mere 11 million light-years away, Centaurus A is a giant elliptical galaxy - the closest active galaxy to Earth. ... Centaurus A's central region is a jumble of gas, dust, and stars in optical light, but both radio and x-ray telescopes trace a remarkable jet of high-energy particles streaming from the galaxy's core. ... About APOD | ... A service of: ASD at NASA / GSFC . ...
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. ...
THE 75th NAME-LIST OF VARIABLE STARS. ... The 75th Name-List consists of two tables. ... the literature, taken from positional catalogues, including USNO A1.0/A2.0 and GSC, or determined by the authors); the range of variability (sometimes the column Min gives, in parentheses, the amplitude of light variation; the symbol ( means that the star , in minimum light, becomes fainter, than the magnitude indicated); and the system of magnitudes used ( P are photographic ...

... 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. ...
... 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. ...
