Portrait of a Star on the Edge
A new telescope array yields an unprecedented close-up of the bright star Regulus
Comments:
The image of Regulus looks more "pointed" at the equatorial section than an ellipsoid should. Is that just me or am I missing a reason for the deviation?<br><br>-Guy
Can anyone say offhand how far away is the star Regulus?<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Hal Yngve
