Based on their discovery and careful brightness measurements of the variable stars in NGC 4414, the Key Project astronomers were able to make an accurate determination of the distance to the galaxy. Despite its high gas density, NGC 4414 is not a starburst galaxy, a fact that could be related to its isolation. Despite its … Read more

This is also a likely explanation for the structure of NGC 5189, although so far only one star has been found in the centre of the nebula. Sometimes this shape is a sphere, sometimes a double cone and sometimes a ring or spiral. Keller, from the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, also used the … Read more
