Twelve constellations in the universe

At night, there are billions of twinkling stars above the earth. Ancient humans connected the points of these stars to form the twelve constellations. Modern people always want to establish some connection with the twelve constellations, so what constellation are you? What kind of cosmic wonders are hidden in your constellation?

Aries: a world of four suns

Aries likes competition, and the exoplanet 30 Ari Bb located in Aries is no exception. In its sky, there are four suns at the same time, which is the only four-star system discovered by human beings at present.

Taurus: Supernova Cemetery

Crab Nebula

There is a huge gaseous crab nebula in the horn of Taurus, which is the remnant of a supernova explosion. The gas produced by the explosion will wander in the sky for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

Gemini: the big clown in the sky

Clown face nebula

Gemini people are curious and interesting. The Clown Face Nebula is a Gemini gas cloud. The Clown Face Nebula, also known as the Eskimo Nebula, is a planetary nebula composed of two huge concentric rings.

Cancer: Diamond World

Alien world 55 Cancri E

Cancer has many exoplanets, only 40 light years away from the earth. The 55Cancri E planet is about twice the size of the earth, and it orbits its star once every 20 hours. This means that the surface of these planets is extremely hot, and even at night, the temperature it indicates can reach thousands of degrees. According to previous studies, these exoplanets are made entirely of diamonds.

Leo: A runaway star.

Uncontrolled star Leo CW

Stubborn as a real lion, this runaway star in Leo is trying to escape from the region at a speed of 329,000 km/h. The star named Leo CW is about 3 10 light-years away from the Earth, and it moves so fast that it can be seen that it has an arcuate influence (energy waves push interstellar matter aside, just like a bow through water).

Virgo: the biggest hat in the universe

Straw hat nebula

It's hard to see a black hole when wearing a hat. It is located in Virgo, messier 104, and is often called the straw hat galaxy. This strange galaxy is a bright star-shaped bulge surrounded by a perfectly symmetrical dust ring, reminiscent of the edge of a straw hat. The dust acts as a huge nursery in baby star, but the real hot spot is in the center of the straw hat, where the mass of the black hole is one billion times that of the sun.
