  • Nova (astronomy) [r]: Variable star in the class of cataclysmic variable stars, which is normally very faint but occasionally erupts in an immense explosion, increasing its brightness a thousand to tens of millions of times; similar but unrelated to supernovae. [e]
  • Parallax [r]: the apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in position of the observer. [e]
  • Red dwarf (star) [r]: A designation that can be given to some stars less massive and dimmer than the sun. [e]
