Difference between Circinus and Milky Way

Circinus vs. Milky Way

Circinus is a small, faint constellation in the southern sky, first defined in 1756 by the French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System.

Similarities between Circinus and Milky Way

Circinus and Milky Way have 27 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active galactic nucleus, Apparent magnitude, Astronomical unit, Black hole, Centaurus, Cepheid variable, Chandra X-ray Observatory, Comet, Constellation, Declination, Galactic plane, Latin, Light-year, Magnetic field, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Musca, NASA, Neutron star, Norma (constellation), Nova, Open cluster, Parsec, Right ascension, Spiral galaxy, Triangulum Australe, White dwarf, X-ray.

Active galactic nucleus

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a compact region at the center of a galaxy that has a much higher than normal luminosity over at least some portion—and possibly all—of the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that the excess luminosity is not produced by stars.

Apparent magnitude

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.

Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.

Cepheid variable

A Cepheid variable is a type of star that pulsates radially, varying in both diameter and temperature and producing changes in brightness with a well-defined stable period and amplitude.

Chandra X-ray Observatory

The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), previously known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), is a Flagship-class space observatory launched on STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999.

Comet

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing.

Constellation

A constellation is a group of stars that are considered to form imaginary outlines or meaningful patterns on the celestial sphere, typically representing animals, mythological people or gods, mythological creatures, or manufactured devices.

Declination

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle.
