Pressure Calculation of a Constant Density Star in the Dynamic
... In the dynamic theory of gravity a very simple calculation has been performed using the non-relativistic equation of hydrodynamic equilibrium for a star of constant density and thus an analytical expression for the pressure at any point r has been obtained. The pressure P(r) is found to be given in ...

Some nebulae can condense and create dozens, some even thousands, of stars. These stars are still bound together gravitationally ...

Aquarius (constellation)
Aquarius is a constellation of the zodiac, situated between Capricornus and Pisces. Its name is Latin for ""water-carrier"" or ""cup-carrier"", and its symbol is 20px (Unicode ♒), a representation of water.Aquarius is one of the oldest of the recognized constellations along the zodiac (the sun's apparent path). It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century AD astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of constellations with watery associations such as Cetus the whale, Pisces the fish, and Eridanus the river.
