History
The Minshara class planet Earth In the Federation standard system of planetary classification a class M planet or planetoid was considered to be suitable to humanoid life.
Class M
This group comprises stars with spectra dominated by bands resulting from the presence of metallic-oxide molecules, notably those of titanium oxide. The violet end of the spectrum is less intense than that in the K stars.

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant, one of the largest stars known. Image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Class M is by far the most common class. At least 80% of the main sequence stars in the solar neighborhood are red dwarfs (see the note under Class O), such as Proxima Centauri.

Solar activity levels with at least one geophysical event or several larger radio events (10cm) per day (Class M Flares) ACTIVE DARK FILAMENT (ADF). An ACTIVE PROMINENCE seen on the DISK. ACTIVE LONGITUDE.
luminosity class Stars of the same spectral class may vary widely in luminosity.
7 (ranking 11th in the sky), this class M (M1.5) red supergiant (with a temperature of about 3650 Kelvin) is a semi-regular variable that changes between magnitude 0.3 and 1.
They estimated that about 75 percent belonged to class C, 15 percent to class S, and 5 percent to class M. The remaining 5 percent were unclassifiable in their system owing to either poor data or genuinely unusual properties.
Substances of the first class moved toward more intense magnetic fields; those of the second moved toward regions of less magnetic force. Faraday named the first group paramagnetics and the second diamagnetics.

[8267] zeta Tucanae is an F class main sequence star smaller in mass than the Sun and yet more luminous. The star is believed to have a debris disk surrounding it. It is approximately 28 light-years distant.
Asteroids belonging to the class most distant from Earth—those asteroids that can cross the orbit of Mars but that have perihelion distances greater than 1.3 AU—are dubbed Mars crossers.
The surface temperatures of main sequence stars range from about 3000 K (spectral class M) to over 30,000 K (spectral class O).
For example a hot star of class B or O orbiting with a cool star of class M or K would show helium lines and neutral metals or even molecules, i.e, both spectra would be mixed together.
A red supergiant of spectral class M1, Antares has an apparent magnitude of about 0.9, making it one of the 20 brightest stars in the sky. Its name is from the Greek meaning "rival of Mars," referring both to its color and to its brightness.
As the comet begins to melt, the class may notice small jets of gas coming from it. These are locations where the gaseous carbon dioxide is escaping through small holes in the still-frozen water.
Teachers using this material in class may obtain a list of solutions by regular mail, by sending a personal request on school letterhead to Dr. David P. Stern, Code 695, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA.
Step 2: Measure how light falls off with the Fall-off of Light Activity. Your class might break up into several groups, whose results could be averaged together. How close did your class come to the actual behavior of one over r-squared?
The NASA Discovery-class mission will return dust samples collected from the debris cloud surrounding the nucleus of Comet Wild 2. Interstellar dust will also be collected.
A class of giant and supergiant pulsating stars of spectral class M, K, N, R, or S with a periodic (or semiperiodic) light curve of varying amplitude. Betelgeuse is one. [H76]

Due to the scarcity of heavier elements, the star looks a bit more bluish than a main sequence red dwarf of class M. It may have around 29 to 39.
The fundamental concepts of this class most in use are: (I) When a point on the earth's surface is taken as the origin, the fundamental axis may be the direction of gravity at that point. This direction defines the vertical line.
Ptolemy of Alexandria mapped the stars in Books VII and VIII of his Almagest, in which he used Sirius as the location for the globe's central meridian. He curiously depicted it as one of six red-colored stars. The other five are class M and K stars, ...
