M2

M2 = NGC7089 ( 21h 33.5m -0°49´, 6.5 mag. )
This very concentrated globular cluster in Aquarius is about 37,000 ly away and contains at least 100,000 stars brighter then Sun. Discovered in 1746 by Maraldi, it was found by Messier on Sept.

M2 (NGC 7089)
globular cluster
On of the most impressive of its type; it appears in binoculars as a misty patch with a central concentration, and with a 15-cm telescope is partially resolved into stars. Magnitude 6.5, diameter 12.

The KI resonance lines are 7664 and 7699(1), but 7664 falls near a strong atmospheric line of O2 and is therefore difficult to observe.

M2 is a globular cluster of stars located in the constellation of Aquarius. This cluster is located about 50,000 light-years from Earth. It is believed to be about 175 light-years in diameter.

M2 (NGC 7089) is a globular cluster, compact and bright, about 50,000 light years away. The cluster is 5º N of beta Aquarii. M72 (NGC 6981 is also a globular cluster, about 3º WSW of the Saturn Nebula (see below).

F = G M1 M2 / r2
where G is the gravitational constant, which is a very small number. It's why we can't feel the attracting gravitational force between, say, two persons.

We should not underestimate the importance of the early work in classifying stellar spectra.

F = (G x M1 x M2) / (R x R)
G is the universal gravitational constant which has a value of 6.6732 x 10-11 newton-meters2/kg2 for all pairs of objects. A "newton" is a unit of force that physicists use.

"The disc inside M2-9 is probably less than 2,000 years old, making it a teenager in terms of the lifetime of these discs. It is still evolving due to the gravitational interactions of the binary stars," says Foteini Lykou.

We have here eight positions of the moon, M1, M2, &c., as it moves round the earth E. The general average distance of the sun is somewhat less than four hundred times that of the moon.

It is however, a rare thing, a class M (M2) supergiant, one of the few in the naked-eye sky, one much like Betelgeuse in Orion, only much farther away, at distance of some 1900 light years.

Gliese 581 is a cool and dim, main sequence red dwarf (M2.5 V). The star has almost a third (31 +/- 2 percent) of Sol's mass, possibly 38 percent of its diameter (Pasinetti-Fracassini et al, 2001; and Johnson and Wright, 1983), ...

It has a minor companion (a dim M2 dwarf orbiting at several hundred AU). Now primarily fusing helium, the main star has expanded to a diameter of approximately 5.3 × 107 km, or about 38 times the diameter of the Sun.

The planetary nebula M2-9 (© Hubble Space Telescope.) Everything on Earth, with the exception of hydrogen and helium, was made in stars. The hydrogen and most of the helium in the universe were made when the universe was only a few minutes old.

In contrast to the collinear Lagrangian points, the triangular points (L4 and L5) are stable equilibria (cf. attractor), provided that the ratio of M1/M2 is greater than 24.96.

For the largest elementary particle mass usually considered, the Planck mass M defined by 2*pi*G*M2 = h*c, this density is 2*1091 gm/cc. That's a 2 followed by 91 zeroes! ...

As with most applications of Kepler's Third Law to planetary systems, the second mass, M2, is much less than the primary mass. For this reason, it can be effectively neglected.

Two jets of material are emitted from the the central dying star of planetary nebula M2-9 at speeds of 300 km/sec. This object has been called the 'Twin Jet Nebula' due to these prominent jets.

There are many interesting celestial objects in this large constellation, including globular clusters (M2 and M72), planetary nebulae (NGC 7009 and NGC 7293), the star group M73, a double star (zeta Aqr).

A red supergiant with a luminosity about 13,000 times that of the sun, it is of spectral class M2 Iab. Betelgeuse is a semiregular variable star with apparent magnitude ranging from 0.06 to 0.

More objects were added later, bringing the total to 110. In it, M1 is the Crab Nebula, M2 is a globular cluster in Aquarius, M3 is a globular cluster in Canes Venatici, etc. For a list of the Messier objects, click here.

Messier made a list of 103 fuzzy objects in space in order not to mistake star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae for comets (for which he was searching). More objects were added later, bringing the total to 110. In it, M1 is the Crab Nebula, M2 is a ...

The constellation embraces many objects of telescopic interest, including the Helix nebula and the Mira-like variable star R Aquarii (see below). Also notable are the globular clusters M2 (NGC 7089) and the Saturn planetary nebula NGC 7009.

His collection of these objects became known as the Messier catalog, and these objects are referred to as M1, M2, etc. This catalog is still widely used by astronomers, both professional and amateur, to this day.

It changes brightness as it pulsates due to upward traveling shock waves, with a long period due to its large distended size of the star, which is an M6 . However, the spectral type changed from M8 at minimum brightness to M2 at maximum brightness.

This means that lifetime goes like 1/M2.5 which is a rapid decrease with increase in mass. For example, the sun has an expected main sequence lifetime of 10 billion years. What is the main sequence lifetime for a star with 10 Msun (i.e.
