Stars, Constellations, Galaxies, and Nebulae Facts What do you know about stars? What is it that shines and twinkles in the night sky? Astronomers have stuudied stars for centuries but only recently have begun to understand them. Stars, constellations, galaxies and nebulae are all related as you will see. When you are ready, click back to return to the Student Center or click below to explore again. Stars Constellations Galaxies Nebulae ... Terms Stars The picture at left shows a Hubble Telescope view of an exploding star called Eta Carina. The gas and dust will eventually spread out to form a nebula (see Nebulae Section). For most of recorded history the Earth was thought to be the center of the universe and never moved. The constellations were named and stories were told about them as they appeared through the seasons. Without a telescope or other aid the stars seem to be just points of light that move across the sky at night. Some wandered about which we now know are planets. Let's look at some facts about stars. Stars can be packed so close as to be seen as Star Clouds, grouped like a ball as in Globular Clusters or rather loosely assembled in Open Clusters. Patterns are called Constellations and parts of these like the Big Dipper in Ursa Major are called Asterisms.

6. Stars And Constellations any Messier objects because the constellation is too even a small telescope the starsresolve into 20 open clusters and several galaxies including Centaurus A http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/extra/Centaurus.html

Centaurus the Centaur Written by Pam Eastlick of the University of Guam. Although Crux the Southern Cross is probably more famous in northern latitudes, there is no question that Centaurus the Centaur is the most magnificent of the southern constellations. It's the ninth largest constellation and it contains two of the ten brightest stars. No other constellation can make this claim although Orion the Hunter and Crux the Southern Cross each contain two of the twenty brightest stars. Centaurus also contains the closest star to the sun, the best globular cluster, and has its own meteor shower. It does not contain any Messier objects because the constellation is too far south for Messier to have seen it. That wasn't the case 2,000 years ago, however, when precession had carried the southern stars of spring into the view of the ancient Greeks. They could see the Southern Cross and all the stars of the Centaur. Although there are conflicting reports from ancient Greek sources, most seem to agree that this centaur whose name was Chiron was a wise and benevolent being as opposed to the war-like Sagittarius. Some sources say he was the tutor for Heracles who accidentally wounded his teacher with a poisoned arrow. He begged Zeus to grant the noble creature immortality in the sky. Centaurus is traditionally depicted as carrying Lupus the Wolf to sacrifice on Ara the Altar. Centaurus contains Alpha and Beta Centauri, the third and tenth brightest stars in the sky. (Note: Some lists name Betelgeuse in Orion as the tenth brightest star, but Betelgeuse is a variable star making its ranking difficult). Alpha Centauri (proper name Rigel Kentaurius) is bright only because it is close and it is the closest star to the sun at 4.3 light years away. Alpha Centauri is a triple star system.

Winter Constellations GLOSSARY This is a glossary of terms used in my report. This might help you understand some of the terms I use. If you look in the sources you can find books and web sites that will give you a full explanation of the terms. Asterism A group of stars that take on an easily recognized shape or form; a cluster of stars. Astrology The use of astronomical phenomena to predict earthly and human events. This practice is not accepted by Christian scholars and believers. Black Hole The remains of a star after it has exploded. It has a very strong gravitational pull and sucks in every object around it. It even pulls back rays of light and that is why we cannot see a black hole. Constellations A group of fixed stars viewed together, usually named with reference to an imaginary outline enclosing them. A basic asterism plus much more of the surrounding sky and stars. Double Stars Also called binary systems. Consist of two stars that revolve around each other or around a common center of gravity. Galaxy A huge system of stars, gas, dust, planets, and other interstellar matter. The system is held together by gravity and rotates around its own center. There are millions of galaxies in space. A few are visible to see without binoculars or telescopes. One of the most beautiful and best known galaxies is M31, the Andromeda Galaxy.

Astronomy KEYWORD DEFINITIONS. - C - Canis Major . The constellation known as the Great Dog. A winter constellation, it is said to represent one of Orion 's hunting dogs. Canis Major is distinguished by Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. The constellation is easy to find since the three stars in Orion's belt point to it. Canis Major is close to Canis Minor, the other of Orion's hunting dogs. Canopus . The brightest star in the southern hemisphere constellation Carina. Next to Sirius it is the brightest star in the sky. Canopus is a red supergiant star and has a spectral classification of F. Capella . The brightest star in the constellation of Auriga. Detailed observations show that it is a spectroscopic binary . The main component is a G type giant and the companion is an F type dwarf. Carbon . The sixth element in the periodic table . It is identified by the fact that it has six protons in its nucleus. 1/12 of the mass of atom of the isotope carbon-12 is the atomic mass unit = 1.66 x 10
