Austrinus It is the astronomy site of Farid Char.
This space was inaugurated on 11/25/2000 and its name means “austral” or “from the south” in Latin.

This name serves to better identify the origin of its contents, created from the Southern Hemisphere: 23°39' S and 70°25' W (Antofagasta, Chile).

In astronomy, the name is present in the constellation Pisces Austrinus.

Observation

Constellations

Constellations are areas associated with imaginary figures formed in the sky by several stars, which happen to be close to each other and delimit regions in the celestial vault, as if they were "countries" of the Earth. Legend attributes their invention to Chiron, a wise Centaur, teacher of the Greek heroes. Today their importance is not limited to the constellations of the Sun, but rather to the constellations of the Sun.

Observation

celestial phenomena

The phenomena that we see in the sky have always caused admiration and curiosity. Many gave way to astronomical calculations of ancient civilizations, as well as interpreting them in a religious/spiritual framework, where certain events represented an omen or were associated with divine intervention. But given that today these phenomena have a clear…

Stellar evolution

exotic items

The following are some notable cases of stellar objects, which can be considered exotic, due to their particular properties, composition and/or origin: Brown dwarf A brown dwarf (also called brown dwarf), are objects that failed to achieve the mass and sufficient temperature to initiate thermonuclear hydrogen fusion reactions, therefore they are usually known...

exoplanets

exoplanets

An exoplanet (also called an extrasolar planet) is one that orbits a star other than the Sun, constituting solar systems other than our own. The first of them was discovered in 1995 by Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, orbiting the star 51 Pegasi, which was named 51 Pegasi b. The…

Instrumental

Telescope

Telescopes are instruments that allow the observation of objects at great distances, much better than if we observed them with the naked eye. Galileo Galilei used the telescope for the first time in astronomy in 1609. Newton perfected the original refractor-type model, building a reflector in 1671. Much better models later appeared, and although…

Nebulae

Nebulae are enormous formations composed mainly of dust and interstellar gas, which adorn space as a remnant of natural processes in stars, such as a supernova explosion, or the last stages of a star that will become a white dwarf, remaining around it a planetary nebula. Nebulae can be classified...

Astronomical tours

An astronomical tour can perfectly be considered a tool (at the amateur level) to learn more about astronomy and develop your hobby. In order to better understand what this tool consists of, the concept associated with this activity, that is, astrotourism, will be described in detail below. It is worth mentioning that the details cited below are…
