How Messier 1 (Crab Nebula) connects across Asteria Star — scientific, cultural, and astrological links are kept separate.
A catalogue of 110 deep-sky objects compiled by Charles Messier.
Taurus is a large zodiacal constellation of the northern sky, one of the 88 modern constellations.
A chart of the Messier objects — the nebulae, clusters, and galaxies of Charles Messier's eighteenth-century catalogue — each placed at its real celestial coordinates and sized by its apparent extent. The classic target list for a first tour of the deep sky.
A map of the catalogued deep-sky objects — galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters — drawn from their measured right ascension and declination, with symbols scaled by angular size. The wider sky beyond the naked-eye stars.
Plans a tour of galaxies, nebulae, and clusters by season, constellation, and difficulty, matched against the night's darkness and the target's altitude. The deep sky, night by night.
