Lambda Centauri is therefore the 11th brightest star in the constellation Centaurus

The red giant is losing matter to its small companion and occasionally ejecting matter in weird spurts

including the search for signs of ancient microbial life

IC 443 is particularly interesting because it provides a look into how stellar explosions interact with their environment

HII regions, a type of emission nebulae, are created when young, massive stars release enough ultraviolet energy to ionise the surrounding gas clouds. These regions tend to have irregular structures and lack sharp boundaries, giving them their hazy, yet photogenic, appearance. The brightest star in the DG121 region, seen near the
