NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is some 800-1000 parsec distant from Alioth (2723,46Ly), with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45000 K and a luminosity ~100000 times that of the Sun. The star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula and shaping the complex's famed pillars of creation-type formations, the elephant trunks.

The Red Rectangle Nebula, so called because of its red color and unique rectangular shape, is a protoplanetary nebula in the Monoceros constellation. Also known as HD 44179, the nebula was discovered in 1973 during a rocket flight associated with the AFCRL Infrared Sky Survey called Hi Star. The binary system at the center of the nebula was first discovered by Robert Grant Aitken in 1915. = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rectangle_Nebula *decrypting message* Hello mother. As you know I'd set path towards the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rectangle_Nebula"]Red Rectangle[/URL] (1458.39Ly from Alioth) a while back. Be reassured, I am fine but I found so many interesting things on the way that it took three times as long as I originally planned... as they say, the path is the voyage, reach your destination and you cannot but be disappointed. Strangely, if I feel sad being away from you, I feel good being so far from the human world, and surely, the blur of being far away helps realize and scale back any current events around Sol and Achenar to what it really is: a fart in the immense and gorgeous solitude of space. How can so much evolution and miracles lead to the human world being so vain I wondered? When you find yourself 1500+ Ly from it all, one cannot but help thinking of oneself as of an alien being, and doing so one really wonder if encountering the human world after journeying among the magnificent presence of blue-white super-giant stars floating in oblivion, wouldn't mean hating it right-away and decidedly bring someone to wish humanity to be the enemy... one suddenly finds compassion for any alien race who would establish contact with mankind, thinking that the joy of finding souls in the universe would inevitably turn into hatred once the lameness of what is done with it comes into perspective. I thought I would be eager to return "home" at this point... but I think I'll keep going, further away from my kind, until I meet myself with the whole. You are here with me always, in every sun I orbit about. I hope you feel my love. *end of transmission* Passed by Mirzam (HIP 30324), 525 Ly from Alitoh
on 28/12/3300 found Ammonia-based life on a gaz-giant in Synuefe UD-Y B34-2 on 28/12/3300 found carbon-water-based life & active water-based chemistry on a terrestrial water world in Synuefe VY-Z C16-5 1 on 28/12/3300 found free-floating radioplankton & carbon-based algae on a gas giant in Synuefe XT-Z C16-12 2 on 28/12 /3300 found four metal-rich worlds all candidates for terraforming orbiting the super orange giant sun of HIP 30276, 554 Ly from Alitoh on 29/12 Passed by 32 G. canis majoris, 575 Ly from Alitoh on 29/12 Passed by 14 G. canis majoris, 615 Ly from Alitoh on 29/12 found two suns, a class M star & a class L dwarf, orbiting each other less than 2.24Ls away with yet a third sun, a class T dwarf, orbiting them at 18Ls in Synuefe Jp-G b30-3 A, 627 Ly from Alitoh on 30/12 Passed by HIP 29536, HIP 29750, HIP 30397, 615 Ly from Alitoh and found a couple more terraforming candidates on 30/12 Passed by 11 G. canis majoris, 650 Ly from Alitoh on 30/12 found an icy planet with a helium atmosphere around Synuefe RQ-E B31-1 (3), which had pristine reserves of something I coudnl't identify. on 30/12 Passed by HIP 30592, 650 Ly from Alitoh on 30/12 Passed by the yellow-white supergiant star HIP 31541, 673 Ly from Alitoh on 30/12 passed by HD 48044 (HIP 31890), a blue main-sequence star in the constellation Canis Major. At 649 light years from Alioth, it shines at an apparent visual magnitude of 7.88. on 30/12 Passed by PMSC 15589-1105, a class Y dwarf, cooler than a brown dwarf at less than 700K... effectively very large gas giant looking astral body indeed. on 30/12 Passed by 13 Kappa Canis Majoris (HIP 32759), a famous blue-white B-type subgiant with a mean apparent magnitude of +3.50. This is a rapidly rotating Be star with 5.9 times the radius of the Sun. This star is classified as a Gamma Cassiopeiae type variable and in it's orbit I found a class y star with a very large ring! on 30/12 Passed by HIP 31993, HIP 31949, HIP 32028, HIP 31727 & HIP 32185. On this journey I found a noble system with 4 terraforming candidates water-based worlds orbiting a young star... what a beautiful sight prooving if need be the generosity of the universe. on 01/01 Passed by blue supergiant HIP 31935, 60 G. Canis Majoris & 12 canis majoris on 02/01 Passed by HIP 32616, a class B blue-white star orbited by the youngest & lightest neutron star I could see so far, as well as the smallest dwarf star with ring I ever saw. on 03/01 Found a water world of 10 earth masses & passed by HIP 30538 and FS Canis Majoris (HD 45677 - HIP 30800) on 03/01 Passed by HIP 31827 (61 G canis majoris / HR 2450 / HD 47667), HIP 31530, HD 46907, HD 45226, HD 44423 & FR canis majoris on 03/01 Passed by HD 42883, HD 43049, HD 44889, HD 43654, HD 43411, HD 43513 on 04/01 |
