A group of faint stars, with none above third magnitude, close to the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Galaxies In Reticulum
NGC 1313
NGC 1313 (3h 18.3m, -66° 30'), our last galaxy, lies in the opposite SW corner of the constellation. It looked like an oval hazy area, without any distinct
structure or nucleus, although photographs show it as a distorted barred spiral. It has a N-S elongation. Three faint foreground stars are embedded in the luminosity, the brightest one
SSE of the centre, another at a greater distance to the NW, and the third one, so faint that it was visible only intermittently with averted vision, closer in to the N.
NGC 1559
NGC 1559 is a large and fairly bright spiral galaxy seen face on. It's a Seyfert galaxy (i.e. it's a source of significant nonthermal emissions, such as x-rays and
ultaviolet). The galaxy is found between alpha and theta Ret.
Planetary Destinations In Reticulum
Epsilon Reticuli
Parent Star: epsilon Reticuli in the constellation of Reticulum is located at a distance of 59.03 Light Years from our Solar system Co-ordinates of Right Ascension: 04 16 29.0287 and
Declination: -59 18 07.763. The apparent Magnitude of the star is 4.442. The Inner Edge of Habitability Zone is 1.36 AU and the Outer Edge of Habitability Zone: 4.24 AU. Orbiting
around epsilon Reticuli is planet epsilon Reticuli b the planet is believed to be a clarified jovian and its exitence has been confirmed. The Planets Appearance is blue and cloudless
. The planet is positioned outside of the habitability zone at mean orbital distance of 1.18 AU. The planet Orbits around the star every 423.841 Days and was discovered by TINNEY C.,
BUTLER P., MARCY G., JONES H., PENNY A., VOGT S., APPS K. & HENRY C. in 2000.
HD 23079 (F8/G0 V)
Parent Star: HD 23079 (F8/G0 V) in the constellation of Reticulumis located at a distance of 113.5 Light Years from our Solar system Co-ordinates of Right Ascension: 03 39 43.0952
& Declination: -52 54 57.017. The apparent Magnitude of the star is 7.1. The Inner Edge of Habitability Zone is 0.61 AU & the Outer Edge of Habitability Zone: 1.9 AU. Orbiting
around HD 23079 is planet HD 23079 b the planet is believed to be a water cloud jovian and its exitence has been confirmed. The Planets Appearance is white water ice clouds. The
planet is positioned at the outer edge of the habitability zone at mean orbital distance of 1.65 AU. The planet Orbits around the star every 738.459 Days and was discovered by Vogt
S., Butler P., Marcy G., Fischer D., Pourbaix D., Apps K., & Laughlin G, in 2001.
