Gliese 433

	Gliese 433 Gliese 433 is a dim red dwarf star with multiple exoplanetary companions, located in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. The system is located at a distance of 29.6 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and it is receding with a radial velocity of +18 km/s. Based on its motion through space, this is an old disk star. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 9.81 and an absolute magnitude of 10.07. This is a small M-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of M2V. It is an older star with a rotation period of roughly 73 days and a below average activity level for stars of its mass. The star has 48% of the mass and 53% of the radius of the Sun. It is radiating just 3.4% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,445 K. Planetary system Gliese 433 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the star Gliese 433. This planet is a super-Earth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Hydra (constellation) Hydra is the largest of the 88 modern constellations, measuring 1303 square degrees, and also the longest at over 100 degrees. Its southern end borders Libra and Centaurus and its northern end borders Cancer. It was included among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy. Commonly represented as a water snake, it straddles the celestial equator. History and mythology Western mythology The Greek constellation of Hydra is an adaptation of a Babylonian constellation: the MUL.APIN includes a "serpent" constellation (MUL.DINGIR.MUŠ) that loosely corresponds to Hydra. It is one of two Babylonian "serpent" constellations (the other being the origin of the Greek Serpens), a mythological hybrid of serpent, lion and bird. The shape of Hydra resembles a twisting snake, and features as such in some Greek myths. One myth associates it with a water snake that a crow served Apollo in a cup when it was sent to fetch water; Apollo saw through the fraud, and angr ...

picture info	Extrasolar Planet An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first possible evidence of an exoplanet was noted in 1917 but was not recognized as such. The first confirmation of detection occurred in 1992. A different planet, initially detected in 1988, was confirmed in 2003. There are many methods of detecting exoplanets. Transit (astronomy), Transit photometry and Doppler spectroscopy have found the most, but these methods suffer from a clear observational bias favoring the detection of planets near the star; thus, 85% of the exoplanets detected are inside the tidal locking zone.

	University Of Puerto Rico At Arecibo The University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo (UPRA or UPR Arecibo) is a public college in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. It is part of the University of Puerto Rico. UPR-Arecibo was previously the (CRA, 'Arecibo Regional College') and (CUTA, 'Arecibo Technological University College'). The college is located in the north of the island, next to the largest pharmaceutical and biotechnology complex in the Caribbean, agricultural areas of intense commercial activity and near the site of the Arecibo Observatory. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. History The campus was founded in 1967 and after thirteen years became known as ''Colegio Universitario Tecnológico de Arecibo (CUTA)''. The campus gained autonomy in 1998 based on the UPR board's Law 16 of June 16,1993. In 2010 the campus went on strike as part of the 2010–2011 University of Puerto Rico strikes. These events resulted in the firing of the university's rector and subsequently the resignation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Groombridge 34 A Groombridge 34 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It was listed as entry number 34 in ''A Catalogue of Circumpolar Stars'', published posthumously in 1838 by British astronomer Stephen Groombridge. Based upon parallax measurements taken by the Gaia spacecraft, the system is located about from the Sun. This positions the pair among the nearest stars to the Solar System. Both components are small, dim red dwarf stars that are too faint to be seen with the naked eye. They orbit around their common barycenter in a fairly eccentric orbit with a separation of about 93 AU and a period of around 1,230 years. Both stars exhibit random variation in luminosity due to flares and they have been given variable star designations: the brighter member Groombridge 34 A is designated GX And, while the smaller component is designated GQ And. The star system has a relatively high proper motion of 2.9 arc seconds per year, and is moving away fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
