- There are two very nice objects to spot with binoculars high in the sky after dark this month. Two thirds of the way up the right hand side of the 4 stars that make up the keystone in the constellation Hercules is M13, the best globular cluster visible in the northern sky. The 15 minute exposure image on right was taken by the author using a 127 mm APO refractor and SBIG 8.3 megapixel CCD camera.

Ring Nebula The nebula disk has an angular size of 1.5 × 1 arcminutes, making it too small to be resolved with 10×50 binoculars. It is best observed using a telescope with an aperture of at least 20 cm (8 in), but even a 7.5 cm (3 in) telescope will reveal its elliptical ring shape.

- The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M 1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.It is not, as its name might suggest, in Cancer.n 1928, Edwin Hubble proposed associating the cloud to the star of 1054, an idea which remained controversial until the nature of supernovae was understood, and it was Nicholas Mayall who indicated that the star of 1054 was undoubtedly the supernova whose explosion produced the Crab Nebula.

The Constellation Bootes Stargazing, Astronomy, and Night Sky Info. The Constellation Bootes. The kite-shaped constellation Böotes, the Herdsman, is best known for its brilliant yellow-orange star Arcturus, the third-brightest individual star in the heavens. Böotes was one of Ptolemy’s original 48 constellations in the first century.

Auriga (constellation) Alpha Aurigae (Capella), the brightest star in Auriga, is a G8III class star (G-type giant) 43 light-years away and the sixth brightest star in the night sky at magnitude 0.08. Its traditional name is a reference to its mythological position as Amalthea; it is sometimes called the Goat Star.uriga, however, is sometimes described as Myrtilus, who was Hermes 's son and the charioteer of Oenomaus. The association of Auriga and Myrtilus is supported by depictions of the constellation, which rarely show a chariot.

- Perhaps the most famous image from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is that of the Crab Nebula. A nebula is a mixture of hot gas, dust and simple elements like hydrogen and helium. The Crab Nebula is approximately 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus.The nebula itself is an astonishing 10 light-years in diameter. To put that into perspective, if the Sun were the size of a basketball, the Crab Nebula would be the size of planet Earth.he Crab Nebula got its most familiar name in 1840 when the William Parsons, the Third Earl of Rosse, using a 36-inch telescope, created a drawing of the nebula that he thought looked like a crab.

Crab Nebula At the center of the nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star 28–30 kilometres (17–19 mi) across with a spin rate of 30.2 times per second, which emits pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves.n 1928, Edwin Hubble proposed associating the cloud to the star of 1054, an idea which remained controversial until the nature of supernovae was understood, and it was Nicholas Mayall who indicated that the star of 1054 was undoubtedly the supernova whose explosion produced the Crab Nebula.

Crab Nebula The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 2.0 kiloparsecs (6,500 ly) from Earth. It has a diameter of 3.4 parsecs (11 ly), corresponding to an apparent diameter of some 7 arcminutes, and is expanding at a rate of about 1,500 kilometres per second (930 mi/s), or 0.5% c.he Crab Nebula currently is expanding outward at about 1,500 km/s (930 mi/s). Images taken several years apart reveal the slow expansion of the nebula, and by comparing this angular expansion with its spectroscopically determined expansion velocity, the nebula's distance can be estimated.

- The Pleiades are near Orion. The Pleiades is an open star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a conspicuous object in the night sky with a prominent place in ancient mythology. The Pleiades is a white star cluster that is roughly 500 light years from Earth.

Star Birth In the center of the Orion Nebula are four monstrously massive stars called the Trapezium, which are about 100,000 times as luminous as the Sun. The heat and wind from these stars is making a cavity in the surrounding cloud, by blasting gas and dust away.

The Constellation Bootes The constellation Bootes, which contains the bright star Arcturus and the lovely double star Izar. Find Arcturus by following the arc of the handle of the Big Dipper. But Böotes does hold some fine double stars that make excellent targets for small telescopes. My favourite is the star Izar, or ε (epsilon) Bootis.

SN 1054 Identification of the supernova. The Crab Nebula was identified as the supernova remnant of SN 1054 between 1921 and 1942, at first speculatively (1920s), with some plausibility by 1939, and beyond reasonable doubt by Jan Oort in 1942. In 1921, Carl Otto Lampland was the first to announce that he had seen changes in the structure of the Crab Nebula.
