Starship Asterisk*

I see more similarities with NGC 4651 than with IC 2497. https://www.nao.ac.jp/en/contents/gallery/2018/20180306-subaru-full.jpg "...The jet-like feature is strikingly coherent and narrow. This feature was previously reported by Vorontsov-Velyaminov (1959) but never interpreted as a stellar ti...

In view of the "perceived" 2,537,000 photos of the Andromeda galaxy by astrophotographers on the internet, the photo and the discovery of the so-called "STROTTNER-DRECHSLER-SAINTY OBJECT 1" (the large blue structure) is an absolute sensation. It is the culmination of a search by...

Yes. The star Ann appears to be pointing (Arrowed below) to is ~12 arcseconds south of the pulsar. The source below is Aladin. The crab pulsar labeled, and the boxes are stars from Gaia data. Some Gaia data for the pulsar (green highlighted box) is shown at the bottom of the image. https://asterisk...

Embedded in the link “ embedded in the molecular cloud ” was the statement “…We also identify the filamentary structure of Perseus and discuss the relation between filaments and star formation, confirming that stars form preferentially in filaments…”. That I find a curiosity of unprecedented magnit...

So how far away is NGC 2264 IRS from the Cone Nebula? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Cone_Nebula_from_the_Mount_Lemmon_SkyCenter_Schulman_Telescope_courtesy_Adam_Block.jpg In the picture above you can see the Cone Nebula, and then above it a bright blue star, and then above the...

My first thoughts revolved around how many stars and planets does an area of the size and density of the Cone Nebula represent? The nebular hypothesis speaks to the process why these clouds form components, and are essential in the universe for the star and planet accretion, but is how many may eve...

...Well, given that NGC 1365 has a modest AGN, an Active Galactic Nucleus, gas is definitely being devoured, albeit at a slow pace, by the black hole of this galaxy. Take a look at the HST/JWST/Geck picture of NGC 1365 that you posted yourself, and look at all the "white blobs" near the c...

Looking at the IR pic, I don't understand how to fit it to the APOD ..might be helpful.. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52298280274_98869e0fb5_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52298280274_0e450b7bcc_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52298045438_235fd2efcd_c.jpg https://live.st...

At the core lies a supermassive black hole. Astronomers think NGC 1365's prominent bar plays a crucial role in the galaxy's evolution , drawing gas and dust into a star-forming maelstrom and ultimately feeding material into the central black hole . The central bar fans out into different armlike &q...

Wouldn't it be nice if it didn't take so long and we could watch them form from from start to finish? 8-) Hilariously-Surprised-Dogs-510x310.jpg The three dogateers! :mrgreen: I like tadpoles too :roll: https://live.staticflickr.com/6...

The white dot at the Helix's center... Except it isn't white. Indeed, most of the stars in the image are similarly colored to the gaseous region they are seen in (in, in front of, or behind). Which shouldn't be the case, and which makes me a bit skeptical about how the color was processed in this i...

Thanks. I still barely see it, or what I think is it - is it #4 or #5 in my image below? Perhaps the one that extends #1's trail through the nucleus is just wishful thinking on my part.
