Screenshot of Aladin User Interface (Version 10) Aladin is an interactive software sky atlas, created in France.It allows the user to visualize digitized astronomical images, superimpose entries from astronomical catalogues or databases, and interactively access related data and information from the SIMBAD database, the VizieR service and other archives for all known sources in the field.
Comet E3 will begin to fade away during the second half of February as it moves farther away from the Earth and the sun, making it more difficult to find, even with a telescope.
The Millennium Star Atlas was constructed as a collaboration between a team at Sky & Telescope led by Roger Sinnott, and the European Space Agency's Hipparcos project, led by Michael Perryman. This 1997 work was the first sky atlas to include the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogue data, extending earlier undertakings in terms of completeness and ...
