Constellation ARA
... Ara contains several notable deep sky objects: the Stingray Nebula, the open cluster NGC 6193 and the globular cluster NGC 6397. NGC 6193 is a large open cluster that contains 27 stars, many of them binaries. The cluster lies eight degrees west and one degree north of Alpha Arae. Its estimated age i ...

If the GMC is very cold, about 10 K, then it can collapse under the gravity of its own mass and the process of star formation begins. The GMC will collapse and fragment around the very many dense cores in its interior. An empirical ...

... The deaths of massive stars In the core of a star, hydrogen particles are fused into helium. After that, when the core contracts a bit, this helium can further fuse to heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. In the most massive stars this can continue until the core consists of iron. A ...
