Abstract: Broad-band X-ray images and spectra of the Orion Nebula region were obtained with the X-ray satellite ASCA. Fifty two point-like sources were resolved, including the Orion Trapezium ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a planetary nebula designated Messier 57 (also known as NGC 6720), dubbed the Ring Nebula.

Explore the legendary Orion the Hunter, the Pleiades (Seven Sisters), the Beehive Cluster, and other dazzling star formations that light up the night. Chicago astronomer Joe Guzman and his team ...

Stargazers can use a night sky app to help locate the star cluster, or they can look for nearby recognisable constellations, such as Orion the Hunter with its famous ‘belt' of three stars.

The transmission consisted of a simple, pictorial message, aimed at our putative cosmic companions in the globular star cluster M13. This cluster is roughly 21,000 light-years from us, near the edge ...

Explore the night sky with the best telescopes to suit every budget and experience level, perfect for observing April's full moon and zooming in on the Pinwheel and Whirlpool Galaxies. April is a ...

The Orion Nebula offers a stunning view of star formation, showcasing everything from massive young stars that shape the nebula to dense gas pillars that could be cradles for newborn stars. At its ...

This particular feature extends like a pointing finger toward the centre of the nebula and the rich young star cluster embedded there. The Eagle Nebula is one of many nebulae in the Milky Way that are ...

Washington: A mysterious X-ray signal from the Helix Nebula has puzzled scientists for over 40 years. Now, new research suggests that a white dwarf known as the dense core of a dead star may have ...

We discuss the various possible origins of this very peculiar wavelength shift in the light of the particular physical conditions in the Orion Trapezium. The above-mentioned shift is seemingly absent ...
