Temperatures in the low stratosphere rise because of molecules
absorbing radiation from the star (right).

Enormous clouds of these tiny grains scatter and
absorb some of the
radiation emitted
from the
stars — especially visible light — limiting what can be seen by telescopes here on Earth.
The lack of infrared glow
from the galaxy across a broad range of wavelengths, however, suggests that there's very little dust there to
absorb and then re-radiate the

radiation, the team notes.
Ultraviolet light
from early, blueish
stars (illustrated) interacted with hydrogen gas, causing it to
absorb background
radiation, and creating a signature scientists have now detected.

absorbs most of the
radiation it gets
from its very nearby
star, pushing temperatures to 3700 degrees Fahrenheit, above the boiling point of lead.
These so - called starbursts are difficult to observe
from Earth, as their dusty shrouds
absorb much of the optical light
from the
stars and re-radiate it as longer - wavelength
radiation to which Earth's atmosphere is mostly opaque.
The formation of a stratosphere layer in a planet's atmosphere is attributed to «sunscreen» - like molecules, which
absorb UV and visible
radiation coming
from the
star and then release that energy as heat.
