Researchers used NASA's infrared Spitzer Space Telescope, which measures the heat emitted from distant objects, to study a massive extrasolar planet that lies 40 light - years from Earth.

The team solved the problem by surrounding the hot object with special nanophotonic structures that spectrally filter the emitted light, meaning that they let the light reflect or pass through based on its color (i.e. its wavelength).

«It will reveal the first objects to emit light in the universe, explore the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter, and identify potentially habitable planets in the Earth's galactic neighborhood.»

The three new Nobelists overcame that limit using fluorescence, getting the objects under the microscope to emit light themselves to reveal their details.

Because the universe is expanding, light from distant objects in the universe is «redshifted,» meaning the light emitted by those objects is visible in the redder wavelengths by the time it reaches us.

The expansion of the Universe means that distant objects that are receding from our Galaxy look redder than they really are, because the light that they emit stretches as it travels.

But picking out that signal from the gamma - ray light emitted by garden - variety astronomical objects will likely take a year or more.

The light - emitting objects that have preoccupied astronomers for ages — all the countless stars and galaxies — are apparently exceptions to the rule of cosmic invisibility.

By studying far - flung galaxy clusters, astronomers are able to look back in time at the state of those objects millions or even billions of years ago, when the light just now reaching us was emitted.

Using FIRE, the team identified one of Bañados» objects as a quasar with a redshift of 7.5, meaning the object was emitting light around 690 million years after the Big Bang.

In a lengthy 1977 song, the musicians proclaimed Cygnus X-1, an x-ray emitting object thousands of light - years away, a black hole where voyagers venture «through the void to be destroyed» — even though physicist Stephen Hawking had bet against the black hole's existence.

This was the first time electromagnetic radiation — light, gamma rays and radio waves — was detected from the same object that emitted gravitational waves.

An image recorded by our telescopes today tells us how that object looked long ago when its light was emitted.

Other objects, like star - forming clouds, emit little to any visible light, though they shine brightly in radio light.

We're looking at light emitted in different wavelengths, depending on the object.

Webb's giant sunshield will protect it from stray heat and light, while its large mirror enables it to effectively capture infrared light, bringing us the clearest picture ever of space objects that emit this invisible radiation beyond the red end of the visible spectrum — early galaxies, infant stars, clouds of gas and dust, and much more.

So, if a light - emitting — or in this case, a light - reflecting object — is moving away from observers on Earth, the light will be red - shifted.

I am not interested in objects that emit their own light.

University of Wisconsin — Madison engineers have created a nanoscale device that can emit light as powerfully as an object 10,000 times its size.

MOSFIRE is a type of instrument known as a «spectrograph,» which spreads the light from astronomical objects out into a spectrum of separate wavelengths (colors), indicating the specific amount of energy emitted at each wavelength.

Light that is emitted or reflected by objects takes time to travel, and the vast distances it must cross to reach us from the farthest parts of the universe means that we see the most distant galaxies as they were billions of years ago.

ALMA successfully received and imaged the radio waves emitted by a distant astronomical object as far as 13 billion light years away.

Lights and radio waves emitted by an object 13 billion light years away reach the Earth over a period of 13 billion years, which means the observed image shows what the object was like 13 billion years ago.

Luminosity, in astronomy, the amount of light emitted by an object in a unit of time.

Although black holes can, in theory, have masses as low as calculated for the merging objects, the coincident gamma - ray burst suggested that the stars had to have been made of matter — and matter, unlike black holes, emits light.

«While black holes themselves do not emit light, the gaseous material they chew on is heated to extreme temperatures, making them the most luminous objects in the universe.»
