Explanation: Few cosmic vistas excite the imagination like the Orion Nebula. Also known as M42, the nebula’s glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away. The Orion Nebula offers one of the best opportunities to study how stars are born partly because it is the nearest large star-forming region, but also because the nebula’s energetic stars have blown away obscuring gas and dust clouds that would otherwise block our view - providing an intimate look at a range of ongoing stages of starbirth and evolution. The featured image of the Orion Nebula is among the sharpest ever, constructed using data from the Hubble Space Telescope. The entire Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.

Habitable Moons

Recent observations of a K type star (orange dwarf slightly smaller than our Sun) have detected a Saturn like planet just outside of the Habitable zone. The star in question is 2MASS J01340514-1425090 (trips off the tongue!), 624 light years from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. 

It’s thought to be one of the first near Habitable zone finds of a gas giant using the transit technique, something usually better suited for red dwarf stars and transits of a few days at most. 

THe gas giants in our Solar System all have a fair number of moons, so equally such large exoplanets are likely to have their own satellites, opening the possibility of an Earth like moon circling such a gas giant, although this particular one is probably a bit close to its star.

Astronomers usually cannot tell the age of an individual star. There are certain stars that we know are very young, and others that are very old, but for most stars we cannot tell. When we have a large group of stars, however, we can tell its age. This is possible because all of the stars in a cluster are presumed to have begun their life at approximately the same time. After a relatively brief time (in 'star time,' that is--we are talking thousands to millions of years here) stars reach the adult phase of their life, which we call the main sequence phase. The length of time a star spends in the main sequence phase depends on its mass. "Constructing a plot, called the HR diagram, of the stars in the cluster, scientists can determine the mass of the stars that are just ending this phase and moving on to the next phase of their life, the red giant phase. Computer models allow us to predict how old a star of that mass must be to be at that juncture of its life, and hence to estimate the age of the cluster. Recently, this procedure has come under close scrutiny because that age it gives for the oldest star clusters in our Milky Way seems to be older than the age of the universe derived from the most recent Hubble Space Telescope data."

SpaceX launched its Inspiration4 mission from NASA's facility in Florida, successfully bringing its all-civilian crew into orbit. The mission is the first private crew launched to orbit by Elon Musk's company and the first time a crew was made up entirely of nonprofessional astronauts. 💙Join our Space family💙 🔔And turn on post notification.🔔 - Kindly follow @_space___lover_  for more interesting posts in future. • Double TAP ❤️ for more....
