NGC 6886 (also PK 60-7.2) is a magnitude +11.4 planetary nebula located 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagitta. The planetary nebula was discovered by English astronomer Ralph Copeland using a 15-inch Grubb refractor at the Dun Echt observatory, Scotland (or from Arequipa?, Andes...
NGC 7025 (also IRAS 21054+1607, MCG 3-54-1, UGC 11681 and PGC 66151) is a magnitude +12.9 spiral galaxy located 228 million light-years away in the constellation Delphinus. The galaxy was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth using a 121.92 cm (48 inch) reflector in Malta on the 17th Septe...
NGC 7028 is a missing object located in the constellation Delphinus. The object was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth using a 121.92 cm (48 inch) reflector at William Lassell's Tigné Point observatory in Sliema, Malta, on the 17th September 1863. Identification of the object is uncer...
NGC 7033 (also MCG 2-54-2 and PGC 66228) is a magnitude +14.2 elliptical galaxy located 418 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The galaxy was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth using a 121.92 cm (48 inch) reflector in Malta on the 17th September 1863. Right Ascensio...
NGC 7034 (also MCG 2-54-3, UGC 11687 and PGC 66227) is a magnitude +13.8 elliptical galaxy located 410 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The galaxy was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth using a 121.92 cm (48 inch) reflector in Malta on the 17th September 1863. Righ...
NGC 7056 (also IC 1382, MCG 3-54-8, UGC 11734 and PGC 66641) is a magnitude +13.1 barred spiral galaxy located 247 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The galaxy was discovered by German astronomer Albert Marth using a 121.92 cm (48 inch) reflector in Malta on the 17th September...
'Suicidal' Planet to be Swallowed by its Sun Astronomers have found what appears to be a gigantic suicidal planet. The odd, fiery planet is so close to its star and so large that it is triggering tremendous plasma tides on the star. Those powerful tides are in turn warping the planet's zippy less-than...
New NASA Research Shows Giant Asteroids Battered Early Earth New research shows that more than four billion years ago the surface of Earth was heavily reprocessed - or melted, mixed, and buried - as a result of giant asteroid impacts. A new terrestrial bombardment model, calibrated using existing...
2MASS J0523-1403 is a very low mass red dwarf star about 40 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Lepus. With a very faint visual magnitude of 21.05 and a low effective temperature of 2074K it is visible primarily in large telescopes sensitive to infrared light. Read more
Title: UBVRI Hubble Diagrams of Gamma-ray Burst Supernovae Author: Zach Cano, Pall Jakobsson In this paper we demonstrate, in principle, how gamma-ray burst supernovae (GRB-SNe) can be used to measure the Hubble constant, H_0. Using two statistical data-fitting procedures, a linear-least sq...
Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing its number of natural satellites to 46. The moons are small, irregular bodies - probably only about 3-7km in size (assuming they have a surface albedo of 4%) - that are far from Saturn and take about two years to complete one o...
Title: Bruck 88 : a young star cluster with an old age resemblance in the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud Author: Andrés E. Piatti We present spectroscopic and photometric results for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) cluster Bruck 88. From the comparison of the cluster integrated spectrum...
Title: Detection of a planetary system orbiting the eclipsing polar HU Aqr Authors: S.-B. Qian, L. Liu, W.-P. Liao, L.-J. Li, L.-Y. Zhu, Z.-B. Dai, J.-J. He, E.-G. Zhao, J. Zhang, K. Li Using the precise times of mid-egress of the eclipsing polar HU Aqr, we discovered that this polar is orbited by two o...
