StarDate Online

Direct link Trapezium

17 Jan 2015, 06:00 UTC A group of hot young stars blazes in the constellation Orion, which is in the southeast this evening. The stars are in the Orion Nebula, a fuzzy blob of light to the lower right of Orion’s Belt. In fact, they help make the nebula shine. The nebula is a gigantic cloud of gas and dust — a nursery that’s given birth to thousands of stars. Four of those stars are called the Trapezium, because they form the shape of a trapeze. Each of the stars is less than a million years old. That’s a lot of years by human standards, but the blink of an eye for stars. The Trapezium’s stars are much hotter and brighter than the Sun. That’s because they’re also much more massive than the Sun. Such heavy stars burn through the nuclear fuel in their cores at a fantastic rate, which makes them shine brilliantly. Like the nebula itself, the stars of the Trapezium are about 1500 light-years away. The brightest member of the quartet is just visible to the unaided eye, but you’ll need binoculars to see the others. If not for the Trapezium, we wouldn’t see the Orion Nebula at all. The stars produce ...

StarDate Online

Direct link Moon and Companions

16 Jan 2015, 06:00 UTC The Moon has a couple of bright companions at dawn tomorrow. Antares, the brightest star of Scorpius, stands to the right of the Moon. And slightly brighter Saturn, the second-largest planet in the solar system, is a little farther to the upper right of the Moon. The Moon itself is a thin crescent right now. It’s about to pass between Earth and the Sun, so it’s daytime across most of the far side of the Moon, and nighttime across most of the near side. If you were standing on the lunar nearside right now, its sky would be dominated by the bright gibbous Earth. Our planet is about to line up opposite the Sun as seen from the Moon, so it’s almost full. And it would be an impressive sight. Earth is almost four times the Moon’s diameter, so it covers a much larger area than the Moon does as seen from Earth. Earth’s surface is much more reflective than the surface of the Moon, too; combined with its greater size, that makes a full Earth roughly 50 times brighter than a full Moon. And since the same lunar hemisphere always faces our way, Earth stays in almost exactly the ...
