... 2008 September 16 . W5: Pillars of Star Creation . ... JPL-Caltech , NASA . ... A likely reason for this is that the older stars in the center are actually triggering the formation of the younger edge stars. The triggered star formation occurs when hot outflowing gas compresses cooler gas into knots dense enough to gravitationally contract into stars. ... W5 is also known as IC 1848 , and together with IC 1805 form a complex region of star formation popularly dubbed the Heart and Soul Nebulas. ...

... April 9, 1999 . WR 104: Pinwheel Star . ... Explanation: Like a cosmic lawn sprinkler, dust streaming from a rotating star system creates a pinwheel pattern in this false color infrared image . Astronomers discovered the surprising star dust scenario using a sophisticated interferometer and the 10 meter Keck I telescope to observe the bright Wolf-Rayet star WR 104. ... The problem is, their starlight would also be so intense that any dust flakes should be destroyed! ... About APOD > . ...

This page is devoted to information on Supernova 1998eg in UGC 12133 . ... Information on the original web pages for many of these images can be found on the Supernova links web page. My basic rule of thumb is that if I get more than 6 images of a specific Supernova I usually create a web page to index these images. ... Tom Boles images 10/19/98 . ... According to IAUC 7033, English amateur Tom Boles has discovered a supernova 1998eg in UGC 12133. ... 19.906 16.0C T. Boles (discovery image) Oct. ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
