Sentences with phrase «hydrogen clouds along»

Based on the extreme, deduced photometric redshift of GRB 000131 indicating that the gamma rays had travelled an extreme long cosmological distance, astronomers predicted a «break» in the red region of the spectrum around 670 to 700 nm from the strong absorption of light from intervening intergalactic hydrogen clouds along the line of sight between GRB 000131 and the Solar System.

The results presented by Lockman suggest that, as some astronomers have predicted, the hot gas in the halo slowly cools and condenses into hydrogen clouds along with wispy filaments that connect them.

Not exact matches

Observations of SN 2006gy with optical telescopes have determined that the bulk of supernova's debris is moving outward at around 15 million kilometers (or 9.3 million miles) per hour (kph or mph) into a circumstellar nebula or «cloud» of hydrogen gas that is coasting along at a leisurely 700,000 kph (or 430,000 mph).
