The astrolabe in this latter case needs to be angled more and a higher angle (greater altitude) is recorded. ...

Planetary Nebulae: Observational Properties, Mimics, and Diagnostics
... A classical planetary nebula (PN) is a shell of ionized gas, ejected from a low- to intermediate-mass star (∼1 to 8 M⊙ ) towards the end of its life. A PN is produced at the end of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, as the red giant ejects its outer envelope in a final stage of copious mass lo ...

WD growth of slowly dying ≤ M size stars fed by JPP comets is slower than the standard model SNe Ia events (see §2.3.1) where superwinds dump most of the mass of relatively short-lived 3 − 9M intermediate size stars into the ISM. Few SNe Ia events are seen at large redshifts, and this may be why. ...

Lyra
Lyra (/ˈlaɪərə/; Latin for lyre, from Greek λύρα) is a small constellation. It is one of 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence sometimes referred to as Aquila Cadens or Vultur Cadens. Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. Lyra is visible from the northern hemisphere from spring through autumn, and nearly overhead, in temperate latitudes, during the summer months. From the southern hemisphere, it is visible low in the northern sky during the winter months.The lucida or brightest star—and one of the brightest stars in the sky—is the white main sequence star Vega, a corner of the Summer Triangle. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of stars known as Beta Lyrae variables, binary stars so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other. Epsilon Lyrae, known informally as the Double Double, is a complex multiple star system. Lyra also hosts the Ring Nebula, the second-discovered and best-known planetary nebula.
