单词 | kepler's star |
释义 | Kepler's starKepler's starA supernova that was observed in Oct. 1604 in the constellation Ophiuchus and could be seen with the naked eye for over a year. It was studied by astronomers in Europe, China, and Korea and its position was so accurately determined by Kepler and Fabricius that a small patch of nebulosity above the galactic plane could be identified as the remnant of the original 1604 supernova (Walter Baade, 1943). The light curve plotted from the original observations shows that the magnitude increased to a maximum of over –2.5, dropping to +4 in about 300 days, and that it was a type Ia supernova. |
