SIMBAD

SIMBAD (Set of Identifications, Measurements, and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) is an extensive online database used by astronomers to access detailed information about celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. It compiles data from observations, research papers, and catalogs, providing identifiers, positions, brightness, and other properties. By offering quick, organized access to this information, SIMBAD helps scientists study the universe more efficiently, supporting research and discovery in astronomy.
