PIX4572673: Vue d'artiste d'une cepheide - Cepheid - artist view - Vue d'artiste d'une cepheide. Cepheides are very bright variable stars that serve as cosmic beacons to measure the distance of nearby galaxies. Their pulse period is measured and their absolute luminosite is calculated. By comparing the result to their apparent luminosite in the sky, they can be calculated accurately. A Cepheid variable star pulses in a regular period that is directly related to its intrinsic brightness, allowing astronomers to use such stars as “” standard candles”” to measure distances to other galaxies, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4572453: Artist view of Gliese 710 near the cloud of Oort - Gliese 710 near Oort cloud - Artist view - The star Gliese 710 is a red dwarf of our galaxy, located about 63 years ago - light from the Sun. This star has its own movement and is approaching our solar system that it may reach within 1.4 million years. The cloud of Oort could be disturbed. Comets in our solar system's Oort Cloud are disturbed by the passing of a nearby dwarf star, Gliese 710, in the distant future, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4571570: In the cloud of Oort - Illustration - Inside the Oort cloud - Illustration - The cloud of Oort is a vast body envelope located well beyond the orbit of the planets of the solar system. Comets would come from that cloud. The Oort Cloud is a huge spherical cloud surrounding our Solar System. Extending about 30 trillion kilometers (18 trillion miles) from the Sun, it was first proposed in 1950 by Dutch astronomer Jan Oort. The vast distance of the Oort cloud is considered to be the outer edge of the Solar System where the Sun's influence ends. It contains billions of icy bodies and seems to be the birth place of comets, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
