AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on correlating MK5(SAO) and BD-HD numbers with constellation designations, NGC, and IC numbers. A comprehensive list of these identifiers, including RA2000 and DEC2000 coordinates, is being compiled. The user has explored resources like SIMBAD and Harvard's TDC for additional data but seeks more stars with MK5 and constellation designations at a magnitude of 10 or below. They also reference the Tycho-2 catalog, which contains data on 2.5 million of the brightest stars, as a potential resource. The goal is to enhance the existing list with more accurate star designations.

I have a comprehensive list of MK5(SAO) and BD-HD numbers with RA2000, DEC2000, Proper Motions and etc.

I want to equate the MK5(SAO) and BD-HD numbers with Constellation Designations(delta Ori, gamma Tau), NGC and IC Numbers.

I have tried:

http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/software/wcstools/scat/

Found some but need more stars with MK5 and Constellation Designations at 10 or below magnitude to complete my list:

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
