What actual new star has appeared in the last 100 years?

Question

Im not talking about gas clouds im talking about stars that are now visible in addition to what we normally see at night?

Answer 1

Probably the closest you could come with our present knowledge is to look at proto stars. They are really quite interesting. Not doing fusion yet but more luminous than main sequence stars because of their increased surface area.

And who knows when they will start the dance?

Answer 2

If a star was newly born, we wouldn't see it for however many light years away it was.

A timely discovery by American amateur astronomer Jay McNeil, followed immediately by observations at the Gemini Observatory, has provided a rare glimpse into the slow, yet violent birth of a star about 1,500 light-years away. The resulting findings reveal some of the strongest stellar winds ever detected around an embryonic Sun-like star.

It is called "McNeil's Nebula ".

Answer 3

any stars that were in the process of forming 100 years ago are very likely *still* in the process of forming. star formation doesn't happen overnight, models indicate that it takes millions of years, so that the entire process cannot be observed in a single object. however by observing many objects that fall on different stages of the process, the models can be tested. it is not easy to do that though because stars in the process of forming are both rare and faint.

Answer 4

I think it's SUPERSTAR! or HOLLYWOOD STAR!

Answer 5

When ever a star is cataloged, then that is when we have noticed a new star's light that we haven't before. This could mean that it is indeed new, we never cataloged this area, or we missed it when we were searching before. So to answer your question would be rather difficult.

We have been classifying these stars for about a hundred years now, and we are still not even close to finishing. It might take hundreds of more years before we start noticing new stars.

Answer 6

The only new one I am sure of is the one next to Venus and it is a man made satellite!!! Who could ever keep track..there are billions we cant even see!!

Answer 7

It takes millions of years for stars to form, and we've only been observing stellar nurseries like the Horsehead Nebula for about 20 years or so.  There aren't any new stars in the sky that weren't there 100 years ago - 100 years is nothing on the time scale of a star.

Answer 8

We wouldn't know if it is a thousand light years away. Light take one thousand years to reach here. So we wouldn't know until light reaches.

Answer 9

We cant really tell. The light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach earth so imagine how long it must take a star that is thousands of times farther away from us. Same would be true if you were asking about stars that have disappeared in the last hundred years. I once looked at a star at an observatory it was so far away that it takes 2000 yrs to get its image here. And no the earth is not MILLIONS years old and it doesnt take that long to make a star. There is scientific proof for it. If you believe that stuff than fine. You are believing a bunch of lies.
