... To determine stellar mases we rely on binary star systems. As seen from Earth, the two stars that make up this binary system are separated by less than 1/3 arcsecond. For simplicity, the diagram shows one star as remaining stationary; in reality, both stars move around their common center of mass ...

After a star uses up all the hydrogen in its core, it leaves the main sequence and moves towards the red giant branch. The most massive stars may also become red supergiants, in the upper right corner of the ...

It stands high power well and the outer edges begin to resolve into individual stars in a 4" (100mm) telescope. Increasi ...
