| | Messier Guide: Late Autumn |
| | Starting with Alpha, it should be easy to locate mag 3.5 Beta Ceti some five degrees to the W, and possibly some of the four fainter stars which compose the head of Cetus, the Whale, together with Alpha and Beta. | | | M34 is fairly easy to find by the point-and-shoot method, lying about 1 degree N of a line connecting Beta Persei (Algol) and Gamma Andromedae (Almach), about 40% of the way from the former to the latter. | | | A much more precise method is to start with the bright star Beta Andromedae, just 8 degrees from M31. |

| | Encyclopedia of Suns: Alpha Centauri A |
| | From places where it is visible, Alpha Centauri is unmistakable -- it is the third brightest star in the whole sky, and forms a stunning naked-eye double star with the star Hadar, also known as Beta Centauri. | | | The Encyclopedia entry is for the largest and brightest, Alpha Centauri A. Alpha Centauri B, the closer companion, has about one-half the luminosity of the Sun (rather similar to Tau Ceti), and hence counts as a Sunlike star in the Encyclopedia. | | | , Stephen Dole gave Alpha Centauri B a slightly higher probability of having a habitable planet than Alpha Centauri A, though the difference is small (and probably insignificant given all the uncertainties in the estimates). |

| | Located about one third the way between Alpha Sculptor and Beta Ceti, NGC 253 was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783 during a comet search. | | | At magnitude 9.4, you'll find it around 600 light seconds away just north of Beta Andromedae. | | | Located almost centrally between Beta and Gamma Lyrae, the "Ring" will appear as an out-of-focus "star" in the populated field for binoculars and resolve into its namesake for even the smallest of telescopes. |

| | Although no details were given for the February 5th observation, that of February 11 placed the comet "in the vicinity of Beta Ceti." Encke examined the orbit of this comet and found it was fairly close to Beta Ceti on the 11th, and he concluded that both observations were probably real. | | | At the time of the observation of February 12, the comet was situated about 6.5° from Beta Ceti. | | | Edward Claudius Herrick reported in the April-June 1843 issue of the American Journal of Science, "It appears quite probable that the train of this comet was seen in the evening [sky] before the perihelion passage, at Bermuda, Philadelphia, and Porto Rico, on the 19th, 23d and 26th of February," [respectively]. |

| | Beta Ceti is a bright, giant star with a hot corona that radiates about 2,000 times more X-ray power than the Sun. | | | For its first billion years, Beta Ceti was converting hydrogen to helium through fusion, but it ran out of hydrogen fuel and became a red giant star. | | | After the hydrogen in the core was exhausted, the central region of the star contracted until hydrogen gas around the helium core became hot and dense enough for hydrogen fusion reactions to ignite there. |
