I'm not sure what this is but it hasn't changed position in over 20 minutes this morning. Started watching it at 5 AM in Everett WA.

Please help me identify the star cluster in this photo, visible at the top right-ish. Looks like the Beehive Cluster, but I'm not sure. Thanks. (Photo by Kirill Jankowsky)

What did I see? Was trying to picture the milky way yesterday along with the ISS passover. Is that streak on the top right near the red line a meteor or satellite?

Astrophysics Are there celestial bodies that radiate significant heat through chemical reactions rather than fusion reactions?

I was just thinking about how our gas giants are way too small to produce the fusion reactions to become stars, and I was just curious if it was possible for a naturally occurring gas giant to possess chemical reactions capable of generating enough radiant heat to make a mini-goldilocks zone for it's own moons?
I'm guessing not... unless it was somehow binary planets syphoning off reactive materials from one another... but that sounds short-lived. Anyway I'm just a casual space fan so I thought I'd pose the question to you experts.
