Sentences with phrase «extremely bright object»

A strange green blob in the nearby universe may be a «light echo» from a long - dead quasar — an extremely bright object powered by a colossal black hole.

The first clue that supermassive black holes exist was the discovery several decades ago of quasars — extremely bright objects in the centres of distant galaxies.

Astronomers had been able to spot the signature of specific molecules in the early universe before, but those observations were mostly confined to extremely bright objects such as quasars.

Bañados was on a search for quasars, which are extremely bright objects that have a supermassive black hole embedded in them.

Even Sony's much - improved Slim Backlight System +, meanwhile, can't prevent you sometimes seeing pretty clear blooms of accidental light around extremely bright objects when they appear against a dark backdrop.

Not exact matches

These initial observations suggested that the apparently faint object was in fact both extremely bright and extremely distant.

And when quasars [extremely bright, compact objects at the centers of some galaxies] were discovered in the early 1960s, it was obvious that the source of power had to be gravitational because even nuclear power, which powers the stars, is too inefficient.

We knew it had an extremely bright surface — it's the brightest object in the solar system.

Cygnus X-1 was found as part of a binary star system in which an extremely hot and bright star called a blue supergiant formed an accretion disk around an invisible object.

«We didn't expect a signal that bright, so we came up with the name QUASR, inspired by quasars, the extremely luminous celestial objects that can be a trillion times brighter than the sun,» Meagher said.

Quasars, discovered in 1963, are extremely distant massive black holes (MBHs) whose gravity pulls in immense amounts of nearby matter.24 The potential energy of all that infalling matter is converted to bright radiation, making quasars the most luminous stable objects in the universe.

Few galaxies have even more exotic nuclei, which are extremely compact and extremely bright, outshining their whole parent galaxy; these are called quasars (an acronym for QUAsi-StellAR objects).

Abstract: Extremely red objects, identified in the early Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the bright - rimmed globule IC 1396A and photometrically classified as Class I protostars Class II T Tauri stars based on their mid-infrared colors, were observed spectroscopically at 5.5 to 38 microns (IRS), at the 22 GHz water maser frequency (GBT), and in the optical (Palomar).

The object stands out as extremely bright inside a large, chemically rich cloud of material, as shown in this image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

Quasars are extremely bright, distant objects that are fueled by otherwise undetectable black holes.

The speeds seen in the quasars indicated that they were the most distant objects yet found, and, because they appear bright even at those great distances, must be extremely energetic.

A new analysis of galaxy colors, however, indicates that the farthest objects in the deep fields must be extremely intense, unexpectedly bright knots of blue - white, hot newborn stars embedded in primordial proto - galaxies that are too faint to be seen even by Hubble's far vision — as if only the lights on a distant Christmas tree were seen and so one must infer the presence of the whole tree (more discussion at: STScI; and Lanzetta et al, 2002).

NASA's Hubble space telescope has captured images of a set of thin, green objects, which astronomers have identified as the short - lived ghosts of quasars — extremely bright masses of energy and light — that flickered to life and then faded away.

The characters, surrounding environments and objects are all very bright and colourful with plenty of detail that collectively works extremely well and makes the world come alive right before your very eyes which is further complemented by excellent animations for all of the characters.

The AX900 analyses the incoming video signal not in traditional 3 x 3 matrices, but across 5 x 5 matrices of local dimming fields and adjusts the brightness level of each individual field by extremely fine degrees (i.e. not just on / off), providing smooth motion of bright objects, a high contrast ratio, deep, rich blacks and extremely fine gradation which retains detail even in the darkest scenes.
