Hercules is a big constellation in the sky at night in summer, and also one of several big constellations in the whole day. Although Hercules has a large range, unfortunately, the stars in the constellation are not very bright, and they are all composed of stars such as 3 and 4. It was once found in the constellation of Hercules in 1934 Nova explosion , its brightness reaches 1 grade, but it has become Dark star Has. In 1960 and 1963, it was found that there were new star bursts in the constellation, but the brightness was not as bright as that of the new star in 1934.
Hercules alpha (middle name emperor) is Konductra Primary star by Irregular variable star η. ζ, β, δ, ε and π (middle name Tianjizengyi Tianji II Hezhong, Wei, Tianji Sanhe Female bed 1 )Arranged as "πε ζη" quadrilateral , constitute the main features of this constellation.
Hercules has many double stars: alpha Hercules is a triple star, which consists of Red Giant , a yellow main sequence star and a dwarf star. Also, δ, κ and ρ of Hercules are binary star Near the η star between η star and ζ star in the constellation Hercules, there is a famous globular cluster M13, whose brightness is equivalent to grade 4. In 1934, a very dazzling new star explosion was observed in this constellation, Hercules, whose brightness once reached the first order. The cluster is 22500 light-years away, 100 light-years in diameter, and its member stars are 300000. The more stars inside the cluster are, the denser the stars are. The density of stars in the center is solar system nearby Stellar density Hundreds of times. It is the brightest star cluster in the northern sky. Another cluster is M92 , 25000 light years away, available Binocular telescope It is observed that the density of stars in its core is more than M13.

Hercules
As shown in the figure, Khra Chris The right leg is half kneeling, the right hand is holding the big stick high, and the left hand is holding the Hydra tightly. How majestic. Interestingly, the image of Heracles Northern Hemisphere It looks upside down. Only in the southern hemisphere can you see it standing like this star map. Hercules was a hero of the world before his death, but he was very modest in the sky and did not want to be famous. Therefore, the constellation Hercules is not obvious, and the brightest star is only 3m star. But the area of Hercules is not small, ranking fifth among 88 constellations.

Herkules Fotball
Hercules Galaxy cluster It's 650 million light years away Cosmic Island Group, this Galaxy The cluster has a large amount of dust rich clouds and Star formation Regional Spiral galaxy , and a small amount of Elliptical galaxy Galaxies with star birth areas are blue, while elliptical galaxies are slightly yellow. Many galaxies in this cosmic field of vision seem to be colliding or merging, showing distorted shapes. Researchers believe that the Hercules Galaxy Cluster and Early universe The young galaxy clusters in the Hercules constellation are very similar, so exploring the type of the Hercules galaxy and how they interact can find clues to the evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters. if Galaxy It is a huge "star island", so is there only this "isolated island" in the universe? No. In the vast Cosmic space , an island like the Milky Way, called Extragalactic galaxy , called galaxy for short. About 1 billion extragalactic galaxies have been discovered. It's really "heaven is beyond heaven".
Extragalactic galaxies are also composed of billions to hundreds of billions of stars, nebulae and Interstellar matter form. Extragalactic galaxies themselves are in motion. They vary in size and diameter from thousands of light years to hundreds of thousands of light years. The Milky Way is just an ordinary galaxy in the galaxy world. The structure and appearance of galaxies are various space distribution It is also uneven. Galaxies also exist in pairs or clusters. Our Milky Way Galaxy and more than 30 surrounding galaxies form a group called Local galaxy cluster Among them, the nearest to the Milky Way is Large Magellanic Galaxy Magellanic galaxy and Andromeda galaxy And so on. They are all close neighbors of our Milky Way Galaxy. There are more than 10000 known galaxy clusters. By analyzing the mass, shape, structure, motion, spatial distribution, and composition of internal stars and gases of galaxies Observational research And further promote the development of large scale Of Cosmic structure This is the most active field in contemporary astronomy.
Hercules Cluster
The Hercules Galaxy Cluster is an island among many cosmic island galaxies, which is only 650 million light years away. This cluster has many spiral galaxy These spiral galaxies are rich in gas and dust, and stars are born here; However, it also has relatively few elliptical galaxies, which lack gas, dust and related nova. The stars that form spiral galaxies are Light blue The stars that form elliptical galaxies are yellowish. In the deep universe, many galaxies seem to be colliding or merging, while others seem to be distorted, which is an obvious evidence that the interaction between galaxy clusters is common. Over time, the interaction of galaxy clusters is likely to affect the composition of the cluster itself. Researchers believe that the Hercules cluster is closely related to the distant Early universe The cluster of galaxies around Hercules is very similar, and exploring the types of galaxies near Hercules and their interactions will help to solve the mystery of the evolution of the cluster of galaxies.

M13

M13
23500 light years from the earth, the brightest sky in the north Globular cluster It is located on the edge of the vault stone, one third of the way from H star in Hercules to Z star. M13 There are hundreds of thousands of stars. The naked eye - like a hazy stellar binocular - clearly sees a small telescope half the width of the full moon - and the brightest is smaller and dimmer than M13.
