Serpens or Ophiuchus
[edit]I am not very sure about the location of the star. Some said it is located in Serpens, others in Ophiuchus.--Rochelimit (talk) 06:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- The coordinates for MWC 922 is listed on Simbad.[1]—RJH (talk) 18:59, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Why is it square?
[edit]Perhaps because of the frequency from earlier explosions/implosions Leroy Abrahams (talk) 23:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- The square is just a projection of its actual shape onto a two-dimensional plane, plus a bit of human eye-brain pattern-recognition. The shape is likely to be two 45° cones touching at the central star, almost side-on to use so that the ends of the cones appear as parallel straight lines.
