Object 107: The Red Rectangle

The Red Rectangle (yes, the Red Rectangle) is a uniquely weird protoplanetary nebula formed by a uniquely weird binary star system.

Object 106: A Tale of Two Binary Star Systems

While some astronomers are interested the globular cluster NGC 6712 because it appears to have been severely tidally disrupted by orbiting too close to the center of the Milky Way, other astronomers are interested in the cluster because it contains a couple of weird yet similar binary star systems.

Object 105: Super-Slow Star Formation

Located at the edge of the Local Group, the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy has some of the stars with the fewest elements other than hydrogen or helium in the known universe.

Object 104: Going Cross-Country for a Supermassive Black Hole

Observations with a telescope as large as the Untied States were needed to prove that J16021+3326 is a blazar, a type of galaxy containing a supermassive black hole.

Object 103: The Pulsar within the Cosmic Hand

PSR B1509-58 is a relatively young pulsar that sits within a supernova remnant that looks like a giant hand.

Object 102: Another Ring Thing

The spiral galaxy NGC 7552 is best known for its relatively small but bright starburst ring.
