Star Ejected from Cluster
Animation of a young star, still surrounded by the
disc in which it it forming, being ejected from a star cluster. This animation was a commission for
astronomers at Sheffield University. When stars are
born in cluster, interactions between members c...

HD 209458 - V3a
HD 209458 is a star with an extrasolar planet. The
planet, HD 209458b or Osiris, orbits so close to its parent star (only a few stellar diameters away) that star's stellar wind is gradually stripping away the
planet's atmosphere, to form a long, come...
