Other Notes: The Crab Nebula, in the constellation Taurus, is the remnant of a star that expelled a shell of gas in 1054 C.E. It was noted by Native American tribes, the Chinese, and other cultures as being bright enough to easily spot in the day time sky. Today, it is much larger but glows at a much fainter magnitude 8.4.
Variable winds resulted in bloated stars despite the use of the AO-7 at 10Hz. |
