A name is preferred even if its a random made up one by yourself. Using the 2007 distance, the star is roughly 8,467,111.30 Astronomical Units from the Earth/Sun give or take a few.

Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. Elnath Radius has been calculated as being 4.20 times bigger than the Sun. The value comes from the Hipparcos Extended Catalog. The Equinox J2000 equatorial coordinates are RA = 05h 26m 17.5s, Dec = +28° 36' 27". This star is also noted for having high levels of manganese, but not so much of the elements magnesium or calcium. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. Elnath has a spectral type of B7III, a surface temperature of 13,600° Kelvin and a luminosity 700 times the Sun. has done some calculations as to how long it will take going at differing speeds. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. The number of A.U.

A note about the calculations, when I'm talking about years, I'm talking non-leap years only (365 days).The source of the information if it has a Hip I.D.

With an effective temperature of 13,800 K, it shines with 700 solar luminosities.

When searching for Elnath, look for the “V” shape of Taurus the Bull.

The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. Once you have located this pattern, Beta Tauri is the Northernmost star representing the bull’s left horn.Elnath is a giant star with the stellar classification of B7 III which has begun to evolve away from the main sequence. Once you have located this pattern, Beta Tauri is the Northernmost star representing the bull’s left horn.Beta Tauri is located approximately 131 light-years away in the This star can be seen in its home constellation located in the first quadrant of the Northern hemisphere, specifically between latitudes of +90 and -65 degrees.

The Radial Velocity, that is the speed at which the star is moving away/towards the Sun is 9.20000 km/s with an error of about 2.50 km/s . The star's Galacto-Centric Distance is 7,441.00 Parsecs or 24,269.81 Light Years. The star's effective temperature is 13,824 Kelvin which is hotter than our own Sun's effective Temperature which is 5,777 Kelvin.

Because this star is bright it can be viewed by the unaided eye. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. So if you have a chance to view this fascinating star of the “bull” be sure to check it out. The Galacto-Centric Distance is the distance from the star to the Centre of the Galaxy which is Sagittarius A*. For Elnath, the location is 05h 26m 17.50 and +28° 36` 28.3 . The star's effective temperature is 13,824 Kelvin which is hotter than our own Sun's effective Temperature which is 5,777 Kelvin. It should not be taken as though the star is moving closer or further away from us.

If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards.

Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 1.65.

All messages will be reviewed before being displayed. Elnath has an apparent magnitude of 1.65 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. It is purely that the distance was recalculated. When searching for Elnath, look for the ‘V’ shape of Taurus the Bull. Elnath or El Nath depending on how you like to spell it, is the closest major The location of the giant star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. In addition, Elnath shines approximately 700 times that of the Sun and has an effective temperature of 13,600 Kelvins or 24,000 degrees Fahrenheit (13,315 degrees Celsius).Historically, Beta Tauri has been a part of the Taurus constellation since the Early Bronze Age, as it marked the Sun’s location during the Spring Equinox. It is also the closest bright star to the “galactic anticenter” (the point in space situated exact opposite of the Milky Way). Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 24.89000 which gave the calculated distance to Elnath as 131.04 light years away from Earth or 40.18 parsecs. Estimates suggest that Elnath has surface temperatures of around 13.824 K. The blue giant may have some visual companions but there is a faint star close enough to Elnath that might by gravitationally bound to it.

In another couple of million years it will evolve into a larger and cooler orange giant star. Beta Tauri has the traditional name of Elnath which is derived from Arabic (al-nath) meaning ‘butting’ and is in reference to the bull’s horns of the Taurus constellation.
