Autumn astronomyBy: James Smith Autumn is my favourite time for observing the night skies. The evenings are cooler, but not yet too cold. The skies get darker earlier, so we don’t have to stay up so late, and we have the best objects to see in autumn. Some of our favourite Southern Hemisphere constellations are in full display. The Southern Cross is easily seen, as well as Orion (including the ‘Pot’) and Canis Major. Taurus, Cancer and Gemini are also visible in autumn. The first two real stars to appear at night are Sirius in the northwest, which is the brightest star, followed by Can...

Last Updated: Wolf Rayet Stars: Four Indian Astronomers Trace Rare Supernova Explosion From Nainital Indian astronomers tracked a rare supernova explosion called Wolf Rayet Stars and discovered that it was one of the hottest kind of stars in the universe Indian astronomers have tracked a rare supernova explosion and traced it to be one of the hottest kind of stars. They are highly luminous objects a thousand times that of the Sun. They are called Wolf Rayet Stars and these are highly energetic explosion. A team of astronomers from Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences i...

184 NGC 362 is the “other” brilliant globular cluster in Tucana, located on the north-east border of the Small Magellanic Cloud. It was discovered by James Dunlop on August 1, 1826 and cataloged by him as No. 62 of his catalog. In the late 1980s, NGC 362 was compared to the otherwise similar globular NGC 288, and it was found that this cluster was about 3 billion years younger. This because of differences in the color-magnitude diagrams: the so-called Horizontal Branch of NGC 362 is redder, and the turnoff point of the main sequence (hottest/bl...

Third data release from Gaia spacecraft maps 1.8 billion stars in the Milky Way Astronomers from the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium have made public the first part of the third major data release from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft. The findings, published or being reviewed in a series of papers in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, accurately mapped the position of 1,811,709,771 stars in our Milky Way galaxy, including the distances from Earth and relative motions of 1,467,744,818 of those stars. Artist’s conception of the Gaia spacecraft as it maps the Mil...
