The Pistol Star and Pistol Nebula
Quintuplet Cluster
Pistol Star
Sagittarius A
Pistol Nebula
X-ray Binary
Arches Cluster
Milky Way
It is a blue hyper giant
Most luminous known star in the Milky Way
Gets its name from the shape of the pistol nebula
It is is 25,000 light years away
It is hidden from our view from interstellar dust
Found in 1990
A dense cluster of huge, young stars close to the Galactic Center
The name comes from the five bigger infrared stars inside it
It is home to the Pistol Star and FMM 362/ the rare luminous blue stars
Identified in 1983
Pistol Star
It throws off so much mass to have actually created the whole Nebula
Around 1.7 to 2.1 million years old
Almost 100 million times more luminous than the Sun
The stellar wind is 10 billion times stronger than the Sun
Has a mass 100 times more than the Sun
In the center of the Milky Way
Believed to be the location of the massive black hole
26,000 light years away from Earth
Part of it was believed to have formed from a supernova between 35,000 and 100,000 BCE
The constellation has a diameter of 44 million kilometers
Discovered in 1974
It will end in a supernova in 1 to 3 million years
The densest star cluster in the Milky Way
It contains 135 young, hot and massive stars with thousands of less massive stars
It is around 2.5 million years old
Can only be seen through X-ray, infrared, and radio bands
The stars have hot gas from the stellar winds colliding
Surrounds the Pistol Star
Contains around 9.3 solar masses of ionized gas
The nebula is visible to the naked eye
Discovered in the 1980s
A class of stars that are luminous in X-rays
Made from matter falling off a donor or a normal star to the next star that is usually a white dwarf or Neutron star
Separated into three classes: Low-mass, Intermediate-mass, and High-mass X-ray binaries
Low-Mass X-Ray Binary
Intermediate-Mass X-Ray Binary
High-Mass X-Ray Binary
One of the components is a neutron star or black hole
Emits almost all of its radiation in X-rays
Some of the brightest in X-rays but very hard to see normally
Orbital periods for these stars range from ten minutes to hundred of days
One component is either a black hole or neutron star
The final component is an intermediate-mass star
It is strong in X-rays
The component is a massive star
The other is component is still a black hole or neutron star
Some of the stellar wind of the massive star is captured by the second component and produces X-ray
The massive star is always the most visible while the other star is more visible through X-rays
It is a disc that is 120,000 light years across
90% of the galaxy's mass consists of dark matter which gives it a faint halo
It has over 200 billion stars and is only middleweight compared to other galaxies
It has gotten to this size because it consumes other galaxies

Alpha Centauri
Astronomer Jean Richaud was the first to discover Alpha Centauri by observing a passing comet.
Basic Facts
It is approximately 4.22 light years away.
Alpha Centauri is 5,770 k.
It's the closest star to the earth and the sun.

Alpha Centauri how it got it's name
Alpha Centauriis a part of a constellation called Centaurus. The constellation is shaped like a centaur, from the Greek and Roman Mythology.
How and when to see Alpha Centauri
It can be seen the best in the southern hemisphere. It can be seen in May and June around 9 p.m.
Where is alpha Centauri located in the Centaur?
The star is located on the front foot of the Centaur. And the foot behind is Alpha Centauri B.
Could we live on this planet?
To the naked eye Alpha Centauri looks like a single star, but it actually has two star systems. Alpha Centauri A, and Alpha Centauri B.
Scientists believe that someday
we could be able to live on this planet around Centauri A and Centauri B which is located 1.25 AU away.

Jupiter Io Io is one of Jupiter's main moons. Io is the most volcanic active object in our solar system. It is very similar to the size of our moon. Europa Europa is a moon that is a little less large as our moon and can possibly have twice as much water as earth.
