Astronomy communicators are drawing attention to WD J1330+6435, described as the first green star ever identified, in a feature credited to science illustrator Mark A. Garlick of the University of Warwick with text by Cecilia Chirenti. The item playfully asks whether there is a green star out tonight, highlighting a rare stellar color in the night sky.
- 2R136a1: The Most Massive Known StarβThe Most Massive Star? Did You Know? R136a1 is the most massive star, which is 300 times as massive as our sun. RMC 136a
R136a1, the most massive star known, is roughly 300 times the mass of the Sun. Located about 163,000 light-years from Earth in the Tarantula Nebula, it sits outside our galaxy in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Science enthusiasts are sharing facts about the star, highlighting how such extreme stellar masses push the limits of what physics allows.
- 3Hubble mosaic brings the Orion Nebula to life in detailβ# PPOD : This spectacular mosaic, released in 2006, brings the Orion Nebula to life as one of the most detailed portrait
The SETI Institute's Picture of the Day highlights a spectacular mosaic of the Orion Nebula, first released in 2006, one of the most detailed portraits ever made of the nearby stellar nursery. Combining observations from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the image reveals more than 3,000 stars embedded in clouds of gas and dust.
- 4Astronomers explain extreme superflares of red giant KIC 2852961βAstronomers have identified the physical mechanisms driving the extreme stellar activity observed in KIC 2852961, a red
Astronomers have identified the physical mechanisms driving the extreme stellar activity of KIC 2852961, a red giant star whose superflares do not fit standard evolutionary models. Drawing on long-term observations from NASA's Kepler space telescope, the team says the findings shed new light on how such colossal energy releases can occur on evolved stars, challenging existing assumptions about stellar behaviour.
