- Carina–Sagittarius Arm (Wikipedia)
The Carina–Sagittarius Arm (also known as the Sagittarius Arm or Sagittarius–Carina Arm, labeled -I) is generally thought to be a minor spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Each spiral arm is a long, diffuse curving streamer of stars that radiates from the Galactic Center. These gigantic structures are often composed of billions of stars and thousands of gas clouds. The Carina–Sagittarius Arm is one of the most pronounced arms in our galaxy as many HII regions, young stars and giant molecular clouds are concentrated in it.
- Alpha Cassiopeiae (Wikipedia)
Alpha Cassiopeiae or α Cassiopeiae, also named Schedar (/ˈʃɛdɑːr/), is a second-magnitude star in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. Though listed as the “alpha star” by Johann Bayer, α Cas’s visual brightness closely matches the ‘beta’ (β) star in the constellation (Beta Cassiopeiae) and it may appear marginally brighter or dimmer, depending on which passband is used. However, recent calculations from NASA’s WISE telescope confirm that α Cas is the brightest in Cassiopeia, with an apparent magnitude of 2.240. Its absolute magnitude is 18 times greater than β Cas, and it is located over four times farther away from the Sun.
