«Comparing these new images, made at different wavelengths, is providing us with a wealth of new detail about the Crab Nebula.

Not exact matches

Since different elements and compounds absorb light at characteristic wavelengths, astronomers can determine what chemicals make up a planet's atmosphere by measuring the relative amounts of light that come in at particular wavelengths.

«One of the biggest challenges in designing an achromatic broadband lens is making sure that the outgoing wavelengths from all the different points of the metalens arrive at the focal point at the same time,» said Wei Ting Chen, a postdoctoral fellow at SEAS and first author of the paper.

The team made observations at many different wavelengths, optimised for different features and cloud layers in Jupiter's atmosphere, to create the first global spectral maps of Jupiter taken from Earth.

Various elements emit light at specific EUV and X-ray wavelengths depending on their temperature, so by observing in several different wavelengths, a picture of the complete temperature structure of the corona can be made.

To maximize energy absorption for photosynthesis, especially when the suns have vastly different colors or if at least one of the suns is dim, plants — or, more correctly, their extraterrestrial analogs — may use one or more types of light - absorbing pigments that absorb across a broad range of wavelengths, which would tend to make the plant appear black or gray (main image).

To do this, the first step was to optimize the production process of cells based on different polymers, in order to achieve the maximum efficiency of these materials; secondly, polymers that absorb light at different wavelengths have been used to produce cells with a tandem structure in order to make them more efficient.

Fossil Necklace (2013), a necklace comprised of 170 carved, rounded fossils, spanning geological time; Second Moon (2013), a work that tracks the cyclical journey of a fragment of the moon as it circles the Earth, via airfreight courier, on a man - made year - long commercial orbit; All the Dead Stars (2009), a large map documenting the locations of 27,000 dead stars known to humanity; Light bulb to Simulate Moonlight (2009), an incandescent bulb designed to transmit wavelength properties identical to those of moonlight; and History of Darkness (ongoing), a slide archive of darkness captured at different times and places throughout the universe and spanning billions of years.
