What is the 2 bright blue star on the ring of sn1987a? Are they just back/foreground stars?

On October 30, 1964, test pilot Joe Walker arrived at @EdwardsAFB for the first 3 flights of the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle. Each flight lasted less than a minute. Learn more about this first vehicle used to train astronauts to land on the Moon: https://t.co/PzXjaaIwSW https://t.co/16AA5RJCNU

What is the name of different systems.

So when planets orbit around a star, its called a star system or solar system. What is it called when planets or any mass orbit around anything else but a star?

Our Lockheed 1049F-55-96 Constellation transferred to the 183rd Air Transport Squadron of the Mississippi Air National Guard today in 1962, where it flew transport, evacuation, and support missions. It's just one chapter in its long history: https://t.co/JZ6ChyVuiT https://t.co/tWuew69cui

When all the stars die.

When every star dies and there are only black holes left, could it be possible that every black hole left joins each other? If that's possible what happens when a black hole dies? Does that one "giant" black hole collapses on itself and dies and there is just nothing, could there be another 'Big Bang' if that's a possibility? something so big that could only happen from a massive black hole that another universe of life starts again? BTW I'm only a music performance major, I never thought myself smart enough to be good enough at astronomy and physics so this is just a "shower question"

Jupiter lights the southeast after dark. Look below it for Diphda (Beta Ceti), the Frog Star. Almost halfway between them is Iota Ceti. Look right of Diphda and there's Fomalhaut, the Mouth of the Fish. Jupiter and these stars form a big right triangle. https://t.co/iWDLWy78jo https://t.co/3blahcgqSA

Southwest Research Institute scientist discovers hints of life on Saturn moon

#TDIH in 1964: Research pilot Joe Walker took the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) on its first flight. Later described by Neil Armstrong as contrary and risky (but useful), the LLRV played a critical role in the Moon landing program: https://t.co/3CvvHZX0k4 https://t.co/Q7WLbO9p2M

Conservator Rachel Greenberg reflects on the treatment of a 30-foot parabolic antenna that is part of an engineering model of the Applications Technology Satellite-6 (ATS-6). Read about the antenna that's now in the new One World Connected gallery: https://t.co/aLK3mcrcH6

For a year now, I've painted one NASA - ESA mission for the Sun and each planet of the solar system, hope you'll like it.

Couldn't sleep, so I painted :)
