CONSTELLATIONS

Draco is a long, winding constellation that wraps around the north celestial pole, but is not always easy to spot because of the faint magnitude of the stars. Despite the dimness of the constellation, it can easily be found in the sky as its tail winds in between Ursa Major and Ursa Minor in the sky. Draco is a very ancient constellation that has a variety of mythological tales connected to it. This constellation is classified as a circumpolar constellation, which is one that can be seen all year round. Explore the stories behind this pattern, discover the easiest ways to find this constellation, and examine the celestial objects that lie within boundaries of Draco the Dragon. 0:32 - Intro to Draco 2:01 - Pattern of Draco 6:18 - Celestial Objects in Draco 8:33 - Legends of Draco 11:37 - Review of Draco 12:34 - Photo Attributes Do you speak another language?

A ricocheting jet blasting from a giant black hole has been captured by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Chandra's data reveal the presence of a powerful jet of particles and electromagnetic energy that has shot out from the black hole and slammed into a wall of hot gas, then ricocheted to punch a hole in a cloud of energetic particles, before it collides with another part of the gas wall. Cygnus A is a large galaxy that sits in the middle of a cluster of galaxies about 760 million light years from Earth. A supermassive black hole at the center of Cygnus A is rapidly growing as it pulls material swirling around it into its gravitational grasp. During this process, some of this material is redirected away from the black hole in the form of a narrow beam, or jet. Such jets can significantly affect how the galaxy and its surroundings evolve. In a deep observation that lasted 23 days, scientists used Chandra to create a highly detailed map of both the jet and the intergalactic gas, which they used to track the path of the jets from the black hole. The jet expanded after ricocheting and created a hole in a nearby cloud of particles that is between 50,000 and 100,000 light years deep and 26,000 light years wide. For context, the Earth is located about 26,000 light years away from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Energy produced by jets from black holes can heat intergalactic gas in galaxy clusters and prevent it from cooling and forming large numbers of stars in a central galaxy like Cygnus A. By studying Cygnus A, scientists can tell more about how jets from black holes interact with their surroundings.

Cygnus the Swan Constellation, also sometimes called the Northern Cross (as an asterism), is a beautiful star pattern to find in the summer months. It is part of the summer triangle asterism. The bright star Deneb, along with Vega and Altair, are the three stars the make up the summer triangle. If you can identify these stars, you can find Cygnus this way. Cygnus also sits within the Milky Way Galaxy. Be sure to look for this brilliant constellation in the summer sky. Do you speak another language?

Boötes- sometimes described as the bear-hunter, sometimes the ox-driver, and connected to the woeful tale of Icarius for the Greeks. But to some, he was much more, for he was considered to be the good shepherd calling us to Truth. We’ll be diving into Boötes and his myriad of stars this Sunday on Constellation Stories with Helen Avery, pointing Slooh’s telescopes to its brightest star, Arcturus – that made Whitman declare: All earthly joys forgot and all earthly fears Purged in the light of thy resplendent sphere. Each star has its own tale to tell and some have many more as many double and triple stars make up this familiar pattern that resembles more of a kite than a man. And, amid the stories of this ancient constellation, we’ll pay a visit to a couple of galaxies and a star cluster for good measure.

Johannes Hevelius was many things – a mayor, a lawyer, a beer-maker – but he also mapped the moon and named several constellations including Canes Venatici (the hunting dogs). Some say it was an accident – that the dogs were actually the weapon of Bootes and a mistranslation turned the stars into canines. Some say that the bright stars were always Bootes faithful friends who stood watch over his dying body in one of many stories surrounding him. However these stars came to be known and named, one thing is for certain – they host a staggering number of jewels: unusual galaxies, edge-on galaxies, spiral galaxies (the Whirlpool and the Sunflower), the less romantically-named compact spiral M94, and of course, the globular cluster M3 – the very first object discovered by Charles Messier himself. Join us on Slooh this Sunday for Constellation Stories with Helen Avery as we turn our telescopes to these two hounds Asterion and Chara, and get a close up with the deep sky objects that surround them.
