Like most galaxies, the Milky Way harbors a supermassive Quasars, Stars remnants, and Missing Red Giants

Stellar remnants, and Missing Red Giants in the galactic center are fascinating and dynamic events. In the space, which is densely populated with stars, the gravitational forces are incredibly strong, leading to close encounters and occasional explosion of stars.

Massive stars in the galactic center are particularly prone the intense gravitational forces they experience. When these massive stars collide, the result can be the formation of even more massive stars, or sometimes, the formation of exotic objects such as Quasars or neutron stars.

One intriguing aspect of stellar collisions in the galactic center is the production of collision remnants. These remnants can include unusual stellar objects like blue stragglers, which are stars that appear younger and bluer than their surroundings due to the merger of two or more stars , as massive stars can produce exotic phenomena such as X-ray binaries. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one component, called the donor (usually a relatively normal star), where a compact object like a neutron star matter from a companion star.

One puzzling observation in the galactic center is the apparent absence of red giants. Red giants are typically abundant in older stellar populations, but their numbers seem to be significantly lower in the galactic center. One possible explanation for this discrepancy is that red giants in the galactic center may be disrupted or destroyed by interactions with other stars, such as close encounters or collisions.

Studying stellar remnants in the galactic center can provide valuable insights into the dynamics of dense stellar environments, the formation and evolution of massive stars, and the properties of exotic objects like neutron stars. It’s an research that continues to uncover new mysteries about the universe’s most extreme environments.

Astronomers are baffled by the discovery of Jupiter-sized objects free-floating in the Orion Nebula

Planets floating together without stars.

Spectacular Orion images reveal isolated planets

From European Southern Observatory

Scientists have recently discovered planets floating together without stars in the Orion Nebula. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured images of around 40 pairs of gas giants, (Jupiter Mass Binary Objects), orbiting each other in the nebula. This is the first time that such objects have been found in pairs.

It is not yet clear how these formed. One possibility is that they were formed in areas of the nebula too sparse to create proper stars. Another possibility is that they were formed as planets meant to orbit stars but then got “kicked out” for unknown reasons.

The discovery challenging our understanding of how stars and planets form. It is also raising new questions about the possibility of life on rogue planets. Without the warmth and energy from a star, it is unlikely that life as we know it could exist on these planets. However, it is possible that some forms of life could survive in the cold, dark depths of space.

The discovery of new development in astronomy. It shows that we are still learning new things about the universe, even in familiar places like the Orion Nebula.

Recent research CONFIRM North Pole Solar Wind is strangely

Recent research CONFIRM North Pole Solar Wind Is strangely and scientists don’t know why, for science, Aurora Borealis and Australis (Northern and Southern Lights) are equally. The data the scientists used was collected by the Swarm satellite constellation – a set of 3 satellites that have been observing the Earth’s magnetic field since 2013. Alfvén waves plasma physics, an Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of magnetohydrodynamic wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided by an effective tension on the magnetic field lines, resulting from the interaction of the magnetic fields and electric currents within it, causing an oscillation of the ions. Alfvén (Nobel Prize), wrote in a letter to the journal Nature in 1942.

So far the impacts for Science of the asymmetry are unclear, and as with almost all good science, it warrants further study. Swarm will continue its mission to collect data that will be relevant to solving the mystery. For years now, scientists have believed that the charged particles that cause these displays have been sent in equal numbers toward the North Pole and the South Pole. The University of Alberta has shown that there are actually more charged particles heading north than south, which could have significant climate impacts on Earth. But also, it might mean a contradiction between the two auroras.

Betelgeuse and 61 Ori

  • Mu Orionis is a star that can be located in the constellation of Orion. The description is based on the spectral class. Mu Orionis’s Alternative Names: Mu Orionis (Mu. Ori) is the Bayer Classification for the star.
  • The Bayer Classification was created by Johann Bayer in 1603. The brightest star in the constellation is normally given the Alpha designation, there are exceptions such as Pollux which is Beta Geminorum.
  • The Id of the star in the Yale Bright Star Catalogue is HR2124. HIP28614 is the reference name for the star in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalog is HD40932. Flamsteed designations are named after the creator, Sir John Flamsteed. Sir John named the stars in the constellation with a number and its Latin name, this star’s Flamsteed designation is 61 Orionis. The Flamsteed name can be shortened to 61 Ori. BD number is the number that the star was filed under in the Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung, a star catalog that was put together by the Bonn Observatory between 1859 to 1903. The star’s BD Number is BD+09 1064.
  • Multiple Star System Yes, one in which there is at least one star in close orbit to another star or two or more stars orbiting a central point.
    Star: Type Star
    Colour: Blue
    Galaxy: Milky Way
    Constellation: Orion
  •                                                                    Betelgeuse
The variation in the brightness of Betelgeuse was first described in 1836 by Sir John Herschel when he published his observations in Astronomy features. From 1836 to 1840, he noticed significant changes in magnitude when Betelgeuse eclipsed Rigel in October 1837 and again in November 1839. A 10-year rest period followed; then in 1849, Herschel observed another short cycle of variability, which reached in 1852. subsequent observers recorded unusually high highs with a range of years, but only small variations from 1957 to 1967. The American Association of Variable Star Observers records (AAVSO) shows a maximum brightness of 0.2 in 1933 and 1942, and a minimum of 1.2, observed in 1927 and 1941. This variability in brightness may explain why Johann Bayer, with the publication of his Uranometry in 1603, designated the alpha star as it probably rivaled the usual bright Rigel (beta). From arctic latitudes, Betelgeuse red color and the highest position in the sky of Rigel meant the Inuit considered brighter, and a local name was Ulluriajjuaq “big star”.

ASTEROID EVOLUTION

Solar System as creations of Nature intense enough to rip asteroids, light is present and no other force intervenes. Despite its distance from the Sun, the asteroid belt will disintegrate as it expands. Many arguments have effect is typically considered for asteroids with their heliocentric orbit, in our extended home in space and it would be nice to know, as a new model suggests that bad things will happen to the asteroid belt, which resides between Mars and Jupiter, as the sun ages, grows brighter and expands. It’s called the YORP effect, which was recently modeled by members of the Royal Astronomical Society. Asteroid 2000 PH5 was later named 54509 YORP to honor its part in the confirmation of this phenomenon has been recently suggested to significantly change, on a long-term. To simplify computations, YORP has been so far investigated in the zero surface thermal conductivity limit only. 54509 YORP, provisional designation 2000 PH5, is an Earth co-orbital asteroid[5] discovered on August 3, 2000 by the Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) Team at Lincoln Laboratory Experimental Test Site in Socorro, New Mexico.

Jupiter at its closest this year 2019. is June 12

Keep an eye on the sky this month as the mighty Jupiter puts on a show Jupiter at its closest this year 2019. is June 12 It will be your only chance to see them in 2019! and Venus rising just before the sun. On February 18, 2017 Jupiter passed ‘aphelion’, which means it was at its farthest point in its orbit from the sun.

On 2019 June 12 and Jupiter and Its Largest Moons Will Be Visible With Just Your Binoculars .

Summer was just never going to arrive this year, We have experienced cold and miserable weather that felt a lot like winter.

Orion is visible in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Instantly recognizable Northern and Southern hemispheres. The three stars of Orion’s belt are easily located, even in the city. The brightest star in the constellation is called Rigel and is 40.000 times brighter than our sun. If you draw an imaginary line through Orion’s Belt it will lead you to the brightest star in the night sky called Sirius. Just above the belt stands pumpkin-colored Betelgeuse (say BET‘l-juice) and just below it shines blue-white Rigel (RYE-jill). Both are super-large. Then let the belt point down and leftward to the brightest star in all the heavens. This is the Dog Star Sirius. In the Northern hemisphere, the constellation can be seen from late autumn to early spring. In the Southern hemisphere, Orion can be seen in the summer months, note that it will appear upside down. December, January, February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere. The constellation is located on the celestial equator, halfway between the north and south celestial poles, this means that Orion can be seen everywhere on Earth except at the poles. Welcome to “Amazing Sky,” Betelgeuse – (Alpha Orionis) A red supergiant star near the end of its life. Rigel – (Beta Orionis) a blue supergiant. Rigel is the 6th brightest star in the sky Bellatrix – “The Amazon Star” A blue giant star found on the right shoulder. Saiph – A fainter star than the others forming the shape of the constellation and found at the right foot of Orion. Alnitak – Also known as a blue supergiant approximately 800 light years away. It is the brightest O class star in the sky, star of spectral type O and luminosity class V. These stars have between 15 and 90 times the mass of the Sun Alnilam – Arabic meaning “String of pearls” Is the central star out of the trio. It is also a blue supergiant Mintaka – A double star system, forms the westernmost jewel in the hunter’s belt along with central Alnilam and eastern Alnitak was originally known as “the string of pearls”P_20190207_185338
