Constellation Toucan - Constellation of Tucana - Constellation of Toucan near the galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud. Tucana, represents the Toucan (Rhamphastos toco, a large - billed tropical bird), and was named by Johann Bayer in 1603. It was also known to some astronomers as Anser Americanus, the American Goose, as late as the 1870s. The constellation is circumpolar (never sets) for most of the southern hemisphere, and lies south of Phoenix, bordering on Octans which includes the south celestial pole. There are no named stars in Tucana, but it contains one of the finest globular clusters in the sky, 47 Tucanae. This is named for a star but is easily seen to be diffuse with the unaided eye. By chance 47 Tuc is seen alongside the much more distant Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a satellite of the Milky Way

Queue d'étoiles - Moonset in the Warrumbungles - Photographic pose of several hours on the stars and the crescent moon. The picture here was made on one partially cloudy night at Siding Spring. In the foreground are the distinctive shapes of the Warrumbungle mountains in outback New South Wales. The exposure, on 400 ISO transparency film, was begun at the end of astronomical twilight, when the sun has descended 18 degrees below the horizon. There was a crescent moon and cloud around the south - western horizon. The exposure continued for several hours after the moon had set, and breaks in the star trails reveal that cloud had come and gone during the night

Nebula N70 in the Great Magellan Cloud - The N 70 nebula in Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) - The Henize 70 nebula extends for about 400 years - light, it is located in the Great Magellan Cloud. In the center, a small group of very massive and extremely hot stars, stars of Wolf - Rayet. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. At the centre of this remarkable bubble - like nebula nebula is a small group of extremely hot stars. Some of these stars are rapdly losing mass and have stellar winds blowing from their surfaces with velocities that approach 4000 kilometers per second. Such stars are known as Wolf - Rayet stars and are found in galaxies capable of forming massive stars. There are many such stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) but not all of them are associated with distinctive nebulae. The outward flowing streams of energetic particles from Wolf - Rayet (and other energetic stars) eventually interact with the relatively stationary interstellar medium pervading the LMC

Constellation of Eridan - Constellation of Eridanus - View from the Hyadas to the Hydra Male. In the center is the great constellation of Eridan. The brightest stars visible here are Rigel, Sirius, Canopus and Achernar. In the center of image is the Eridanus constellation. Brightest stars visible are Rigel (top in Orion); Sirius (top left); Canopus (below) and Achernar (bottom center). Eridanus (the Celestial River) is very well named; since it winds its way over an enormous area of the sky. It is the 6th largest constellation (almost 1140 square degrees) and wanders over a huge range of Declination. The river runs from close to the celestial equator (which runs through Orion's Belt) to its brightest star Achernar (a Eri; from the English for 'river's end'); which is at 57* south declination

Constellation of Carene - Constellation of Carina - The constellation of Carene, the Great Magellan Cloud, the southern Celestial pole, and the star Canopus. This part of the sky is best seen in the early evening between April and June. Carina the Keel, is a remnant of Argo Navis, a giant mythical sailing vessel afloat on the southern Milky Way, described elsewhere. The constellation is a delight for southern hemisphere observers, with many star clusters and nebulae visible in binoculars or modest telescopes. Some of these are quite spectacular in a large telescope. The second brightest star in the sky, Canopus (a Car) is here as is Eta Carinae, one of the most massive and unstable stars in the Galaxy. Eta is hidden in the most conspicuous nebula in Carina, NGC 3372, the Great Carina nebula. This photograph also shows the location of the south celestial pole and the Large Magellanic Cloud as well as several complete or almost complete constellations, including Apus, Chameleon, Crux, Do

The Southern Milky Way and south celestial pole - The Southern Milky Way and south celestial pole - The Octant constellation houses the south celeste pole (mark of a cross) This part of the sky was mostly uncharted by Europeans until the 17th and 18th centuries, so many of the constellations in the southern (lower) half of the image are relatively modern constructions without mythlogical connotations. Octans, the Octant (a forerunner of the sextant) is an Enlightenment - period instrument whose outline was constructed on the sky by the vivid imagination of the Abbe Lacaille. The constellation is quite large but totally undistinguished. Its only notable feature is the South Celestial Pole, with is marked (within a degree or so) by the faint star s Octantis. Apus, the Bird of Paradise, first appeared in the star charts of the German astronomer Johann Bayer in 1603. It contains no named stars. Chameleon, a type of lizard. The stars here are even fainter than those in Apus. Mensa, the cons

Nebula N81 in the Small Magellan Cloud - Celestial Maternity Ward N81 in the Small Magellanic Cloud A NASA Hubble Space Telescope “” family portrait””” of young, ultra - bright stars nested in their embryonic cloud of glowing gases. The celestial maternity ward, called N81, is located 200,000 light - years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a small irregular satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. Hubble's exquisite resolution allows astronomers to pinpoint 50 separate stars tightly packed in the nebula's core within a 10 light - year diameter - slightly more than twice the distance between earth and the nearest star to our sun. The closest pair of stars is only 1/3 of a light - year apart (0.3 arcseconds in the sky). This furious rate of mass loss from these super - hot stars is evident in the Hubble picture that reveals dramatic shapes sculpted in the nebula's wall of glowing gases by violent stellar winds and shock waves. A pair of bright stars in the center of the nebula is pouri

Nebuleuse N44 in the Great Magellan Cloud - This photo shows the southern part of the spectacular N44 region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The green colour indicates areas that are particularly hot. The field measures 27.5 x 26.5 arcmin2., North is up and East is left. The two best known satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, are located in the southern sky at a distance of about 170,000 light - years. They host many giant nebular complexes with very hot and luminous stars whose intense ultraviolet radiation causes the surrounding interstellar gas to glow. The intricate and colourful nebulae are produced by ionised gas that shines as electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei recombine, emitting a cascade of photons at well defined wavelengths. Such nebulae are called “” H II regions””, signifying ionised hydrogen, i.e. hydrogen atoms that have lost one electron (protons). Their spectra are characterized by emission lines whose relative intensities carry usefu

Star formation in the Sails - Star formation in Vela - Infrared view of the nebulae Gum 22 (top right), Gum 23, IRAS 09002 - 4732 (orange cloud near center), Bran 226 (bottom left), and Gum 25 (bottom left). These star-forming regions are located between 4000 and 10,000 light years of the Earth. The bright green star, down to the right of the image, is a carbon star, IRAS 08535 - 4724. Image obtained by the WISE telescope (Wide - field Infrared Explorer). This image from Nasa's Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, highlights several star - forming regions. There are five distinct centers of star birth in this one image alone. Star - forming nebulae (called HII regions by astronomers) are clouds of gas and dust that have been heated up by nearby stars recently formed from the same cloud. The largest, brightest cloud, in the upper right is known as Gum 22. It's named after Colin Gum, an Australian astronomer who surveyed the southern hemisphere sky in the early 1950's looking

Cometary Globule CG4 dans la Puppe - Grand Champ - CG4 a cometary globule in Puppis - Wide field - Cometary cells are small clouds of isolated gases. This one, called CG4 (left middle of the image), is located about 1300 light years away in the constellation Pupus. Its head is 1.5 years light and its tail extends for 8 years. This cloud is a star-forming region. A spiral galaxy seen by the slice (ESO 257 - 19) is visible to the left of the blood cell. It is located 100 million years later. At the bottom left of the image, another galaxy is visible, NGC 2427. This region of the southern sky has numerous colorful faint gaseous nebulae that are very difficult to image due to thier very low surface brightness. CG4 is a ruptured cometary globule that appears to be ready to “” eat””” the distant galaxy ESO257 - 019. In fact, these two objects are very far apart; ESO257 - 019 being more than 100 million light years further away than CG4. Cometary blood cells are isolated, relatively small clo
