Here is a difficult question for astronomers everywhere: What is 17 brightest star in the sky?
The answer (if you do not guess it from the title of the article!) Fomalhaut is also known, rather curious, as the "First Frog" or alternatively "The Lonely One". It is in the constellation of the southern fish (Pisces Austrinus), which actually looks like a fish stylistic lying on his back drinking in the waters of knowledge of water man.
Fomalhaut is a bluish white star, younger than our Sun and lies about 25 light years away. It is surrounded by a warped disk of icy dust particles similar to that around Vega, Beta Pictoris and Denebola.
Fomalhaut may hold secrets of a planetary system, its dusty ring is similar to the hard disk through the solar system Edgeworth-Kuiper belt.
So where is this star to his name, and how do you speak? Now, "FUM-al-HUT" in Arabic means fish's mouth, and I said it is pronounced "Foma-low" in English. This makes it easier for me to remember because Fomalhaut is low in the southern autumn sky.
It is a suspicion of variable stars and was categorized under many names: TYC6977: 1267:1 HR8728, Hip113368, HD216956, SAO191524, and LTT9292, to name just a few.
Mr Thomas Jefferson Jackson Lake reported a companion red-orange dwarf TW Piscis (CG31978, SAO214197, TYC7505: 100:1), 1897.
Another dwarf star known as K5-LTT8273 can be a visual companion. This particular star is originally conceived as a member of a now scattered clusters including Fomalhaut, Vega and Castor. Fomalhaut the future can be developed into a white dwarf in a billion years. (Do not wait!)
Did Fomalhaut's dusty disk coalesced into planets around the star? Theories point to this possibility. Rumour has it that our solar system may have looked like the dusty Fomalhaut system four billion years. I think you enjoy watching this star - it's more than just a small glimmer in the southern sky.
