Sentences with phrase «faint stars made»

One is that it is in the form of brown dwarfs, very faint stars made of the same kind of baryonic material as our Sun.

Not exact matches

Hubble made an educated guess based on the reasoning that the brightest stars in each galaxy all shine with the same luminosity, like light bulbs of equal wattage, so the fainter they appear, the farther away they lie.

To get a complete picture of all the planets out there, Kepler looked at a huge number of really faint stars to make sure it didn't miss anything.

Doing so would make it possible to detect gravitational waves, faint ripples in space - time that, according to Einstein, emanate from interactions between massive objects like neutron stars and supermassive black holes.

We once thought that dark matter might be made up of large objects such as black holes or exotic types of faint stars — neutron stars or white dwarfs — that are nearly invisible to our telescopes.

Doing so would make it possible to detect gravitational waves, faint ripples in space - time that, according to Einstein, emanate from interactions between massive objects such as neutron stars and supermassive black holes.

These small, faint systems made up of millions or billions of stars, dust, and gas constitute the most common type of galaxy observed in the universe.

The glow seemed consistent with the size and shape of the matter needed to make ngc 5907 spin the way it does, so astronomers hoped that this might be the first sign that the dark halos were made of ordinary stars and planets — albeit faint ones — rather than exotic, yet - to - be discovered particles.

For example, an instrument on one satellite could block the glare of the sun or a distant star, making it possible for a camera on the other to image faint objects such as the sun's ghostly corona or exoplanets orbiting a star.

One major problem has been that the bright, star - filled center of the Milky Way is directly behind the search area, making it difficult for faint KBOs to stand out.

But Kepler has difficulty identifying smaller planets because the stars that it examines tend to be extremely faint, which makes it very difficult to confirm discoveries with ground - based telescopes.

Adaptive optics images made with ARIES at the MMT of 87 Kepler Objects of Interest place limits on the presence of fainter stars in or near the Kepler aperture.

Adaptive optics images made with ARIES at the MMT of 87 Kepler Objects of Interest place limits on the presence of fainter stars in or near the Kepler... ▽ More The Kepler mission has revolutionized our understanding of exoplanets, but some of the planet candidates identified by Kepler may actually be astrophysical false positives or planets whose transit depths are diluted by the presence of another star.

Then, astronomers like myself can make out the faint planet companions orbiting the star.

So, using ALMA, I would like to make observations of much fainter galaxies, and also study star formation activities and the amount of dust in those galaxies in detail.»

Initial data came from the TRENDS (TaRgetting bENchmark - objects with Doppler Spectroscopy) high - contrast imaging survey that uses adaptive optics and related technologies to target older, faint objects orbiting nearby stars, and precise measurements were made at the W. M. Keck Observatory on the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

It highlights the elongated extent of the relatively faint, old, and cool stars that make up the elliptical galaxy, as well as the delicate dusty filaments of the barred galaxy that was apparently engulfed by Centaurus A (ESO photo release).

Though The Disaster Artist is nominally an adaption of the same - titled book by Wiseau's former roommate and co-star Greg Sestero and the critic and journalist Tom Bissell, the movie bears only faint traces of its characterization of the secretive, self - made filmmaker; the exclusion of any biographical details (many of which are now public knowledge) leaves yawning gaps in the script, which was written by the duo of Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (500 Days Of Summer, The Spectacular Now, The Fault In Ours Stars, etc.).
