Meteorologists confirmed that one of the most beautiful star clusters, called the “Peagle”, is observed in the sky of Egypt and the Arab world this Friday evening, also known as the Beehive or Messier 44, which is located in the midst of the very faint stars of Cancer.
Prose is a wonderful swarm of starsSee with the naked eye In a dark place far from the city lights, but easily visible with binoculars, although the naked eye cannot see them all, this cluster contains a thousand stars.
To locate the beehive cluster some stars are used as a reference to infer where it is star cluster Halfway between the star of the Lionheart and the stars and heads of the twin front “Castor” and the head of the rear twin “Polox” on the dome of the sky.
During the month of March, the thrush cluster is monitored «Beehive» On the eastern horizon following dark, and below it is the star Lion’s Heart, then the bright stars see the head of the front twin and the head of the hind twin in the constellation of Twins upwards on the eastern horizon.
As the months pass, the thallus “beehive” will rise higher in the sky and then leave the evening sky in late June, moving into the morning sky starting in late August.
The Particle Cluster is not bright but only in the dark countryside sky you can see this faint mysterious object with the naked eye However, binoculars magically transform this smudge of light into a brilliant swarm of stars.
The beehive contains nearly 1,000 stars and is an open group of stars in our galaxy. Open clusters are gravitationally bound stars that form from the same nebula as stars, as the stars in the Orion nebula.
The philtrum cluster is consideredBeehive» One of the closest open clusters to the Sun and Earth and has more stars than most other neighboring clusters.
away philtrum cluster “Beehive” is regarding 520 to 610 light-years from our solar system. When you use binoculars to view the cluster, the brightest star you see is 42 Cancri.
In 2012, the Kepler space observatory found two planets in the “beehive” cluster rotating Planets around two stars are different. The designations of the planets are Pr0201b and Pr0211b. Both planets are hot Jupiters, ie huge gas giants, in both cases orbiting close to their stars. These were the first planets discovered orbiting sun-like stars in an open star cluster. Since their discovery, the Kepler telescope has found four other exoplanets orbiting stars in the Beehive cluster.
