2024年8月25日 · Charles Messier discovered the globular cluster M56 in 1779. The cluster is located 33,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Lyra. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.3 and can be observed with a small telescope most easily in August. This beautiful Hubble image of M56 was constructed using both visible and infrared observations.

2015年6月11日 · Messier 56 (M56) is a globular star cluster located in the small northern constellation Lyra. M56 has an apparent magnitude of 8.3 and lies at a distance of 32,900 light years from Earth. The cluster has the designation NGC 6779 in the New General Catalogue.

2023年4月17日 · The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced this beautiful image of the globular cluster Messier 56 (also known as M 56 or NGC 6779), which is located about 33,000 light years away from the Earth in the constellation of Lyra (The Lyre). The cluster is composed of a large number of stars, tightly bound to each other by gravity.

Messier 56 (M56), a captivating globular cluster nestled within the constellation Lyra, is a celestial object of significant scientific interest. This article delves into the historical context, observational properties, and scientific characteristics of M56, an object that paints a vivid picture of our galaxy's formative years.

2017年9月11日 · Located in the northern constellation of Lyra, roughly 32,900 light years from Earth, is the globular star cluster known as Messier 56

2015年8月5日 · Astrophysics M 56 is a poorly concentrated globular cluster of the Shapley class X. Only M 55 and M 71 are even less concentrated. Shapley was the first to notice the slightly elliptical shape of M 56 in PA 45°. Its very eccentric, but low-inclination, orbit around the galactic center takes M56 out to distances of 40,000 light-years.

Messier 56 is a globular star cluster located in the constellation Lyra, discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier in 1779. Positioned approximately 32,900 light-years away from Earth, this celestial assembly is part of the Milky Way galaxy.

Messier 56 or M56 (also designated NGC 6779) is a globular cluster in the constellation Lyra. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.3 and its angular diameter is 7.1 arc-minutes. M56 lies at an estimated distance of 32,900 light years. The Equinox 2000 coordinates are RA= 19h 16.6m, Dec= +30° 11´ which makes M56 best seen during the summer.
