... Uranus rises around 19:20 at the end of the month and is becoming better placed to observe as it moves towards opposition in October. At a magnitude of 5.70 it may well be seen with binoculars. A small telescope might show a blue hue, but since Uranus usually has few features, little else may be see ...

... Star Sizes (2) But the luminosity of a star can also be found from its distance and apparent brightness. Namely, distance + apparent brightness = luminosity. That is how absolute magnitude is calculated So, the distance and apparent brightness of a star can be used to infer its size, i.e. its radius ...

... The Magnitude System In the olden days, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus blessed the science of Astronomy with one of its worst attributes: the magnitude scales. He sought to classify the stars by their brightness with a number scale. The first group of stars to become visible at night were called ma ...

HR Diagram of a Star Cluster
... A cluster of stars which is localized in space is usually localized in time also. Surprisingly, the brightness (magnitude) of the stars in two different color bands can be interpreted to tell the cluster's age and distance from Earth. This is done by plotting a magnitude vs. color diagram (as Hertzs ...

As the helium in the core fuses to carbon, the core becomes hotter and hotter, and the helium burns faster and faster. When the helium is exhausted, the star is now similar to its condition jus ...
