A distant planet is shedding helium ahead of its transit, while another world hides a cloudy nightside beneath a clearer dayside. New observations also reveal stellar vibrations in infrared light, trace a massive star’s journey beyond its red-supergiant phase, and expose the magnetic activity of a young planetary system.

More about Star position in StellarGuide
Data in Stellar Catalog come from trusted scientific sources. Primary source is Gaia space telescope mapping the stars in Milky Way. Other sources include research papers, Simbad catalog and Exoplanet.eu database.
Objects listed in the Stellar Catalog often have values that are estimates. These estimates are determined using their known characteristics, such as spectral type, brightness across different wavelengths, distance from a star, and other factors.
Stellar Catalog is continuously updated with new information from research papers. Stellar and planetary data are validated by automatic processes as well as humans.
