Draco (constellation)

Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky.

See NGC 6786 and Draco (constellation)

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.

See NGC 6786 and Epoch (astronomy)

Interacting galaxy

Interacting galaxies (colliding galaxies) are galaxies whose gravitational fields result in a disturbance of one another. NGC 6786 and Interacting galaxy are Interacting galaxies.

Light-year

A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.

New General Catalogue

The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. NGC 6786 and New General Catalogue are NGC objects.

See NGC 6786 and New General Catalogue

Spiral galaxy

Spiral galaxies form a class of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae (pp. 124–151) and, as such, form part of the Hubble sequence.

See NGC 6786 and Spiral galaxy

Starburst galaxy

A starburst galaxy is one undergoing an exceptionally high rate of star formation, as compared to the long-term average rate of star formation in the galaxy, or the star formation rate observed in most other galaxies.

See NGC 6786 and Starburst galaxy

Supernova

A supernova (supernovae or supernovas) is a powerful and luminous explosion of a star.

See NGC 6786 and Supernova

Type II supernova

A Type II supernova or SNII (plural: supernovae) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star.

See NGC 6786 and Type II supernova
