Most nebulae are of vast size, some are hundreds of light years in diameter. A nebula that is barely visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. The Orion Nebula, the brightest nebula in the sky that occupies a region twice the diameter of the full Moon, can be viewed with the naked eye but was missed by early astronomers. Although denser than the space surrounding them, most nebulae are far less dense than any vacuum created on Earth – a nebular cloud the size of the Earth would have a total mass of only a few kilograms. Many nebulae are visible due to fluorescence caused by embedded hot stars, while others are so diffuse they can only be detected with long exposures and special filters. Some nebulae are variably illuminated by T Tauri variable stars. Nebulae are often star-forming regions, such as in the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula. In these regions the formations of gas, dust, and other materials "clump" together to form denser regions, which attract further matter, and eventually will become dense enough to form stars. The remaining material is then believed to form planets and other planetary system objects.
Around 150 AD, Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy) recorded, in books VII–VIII of his Almagest, five stars that appeared nebulous. He also noted a region of nebulosity between the constellations Ursa Major and Leo that was not associated with any star. The first true nebula, as distinct from a star cluster, was mentioned by the Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, in his Book of Fixed Stars (964). He noted "a little cloud" where the Andromeda Galaxy is located. He also cataloged the Omicron Velorum star cluster as a "nebulous star" and other nebulous objects, such as Brocchi's Cluster. The supernova that created the Crab Nebula, the SN 1054, was observed by Arabic and Chinese astronomers in 1054.
Troll8 is an alternative rock band based in the Kanto region. They have transformed their style into a whole new sound by unabashedly absorbing a wide range of genres. A combination of incredible compositional genius, melodies unique in Japan, overwhelmingly intense and thrilling live performances, and a piercing message make them a must listen band.
Troll8 was founded in 2010 by Troll8 frontman and vocal Kaoru, Soul-D! guitarist Hidetaka, and Bass guitarist Koichi. In 2011, drummer Michio officially joins the group.
On February 2012, they held first US tour with Gnosis. A second US tour is planned for September 2012. On August of the same year, they release their first single Your Name is My Name. After a release party at K's Dream Inage, they leave for their first Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka tour. On October 2012, they appeared at Shibuya O-WEST.
From 2013 up to now, the band is preparing for new movements, planning tours in Asia, Europe, and the States.
Bastetone is a band from Japan including Gt. Takeshi, Dr. Kazukiyuki Okubo, Vo.Gt.Key. Oh-chan, and Ba. Hiroyuki Sato.
Bastetone was formed in 2014 by Ao-chan of Vo.Gt.Key. Gt. Takeshi (ex.AKARINE).
This band was formed fatefully (over the screen of the smartphone) and launched a bastetone and started an activity. In April 2016, Ba. Sato ( Jeepta ) and Dr. Ueda joined and start a full-fledged activity as a band.
In December 2017, Okubo joins and becomes current system.
