The process is similar to what lights household fluorescent bulbs, except that the supernova remnant glows in X-rays
rather than visible light.
But perhaps there are cases where the radiation comes out in the form of X-rays or gamma rays, he says,
rather than the visible light astronomers normally look for when searching for supernovae.
The entire galaxy essentially acts as an astronomical laser that beams out microwave emission
rather than visible light (hence the «m» replacing the «l').

The sun the moon and
visible stars were «set into the expanse» and now these
lights rather than early
lights from star and galaxy formation regulate and have greatest affect.
The revised experiment relies on a relatively simple
visible -
light source
rather than an X-ray laser.
Fox aims to turn these diamond films into a new kind of solar cell, one that generates electricity by absorbing heat
rather than visible -
light wavelengths.
Beyond these, other space - based resources could investigate Alpha Centauri in
visible, reflected
light rather than infrared — providing crucial multiwavelength analysis that could pin down the true nature of any discovered worlds.
When the layers have thicknesses below the wavelength of
visible light — 400 - 700 nanometers — they interact with its wave properties
rather than treating it as a straight ray.
Rather than an «exhibition» being an instance of putting something «on view» or «made
visible,» it gains an oblique function as a generator of wasted heat — a property that is felt on the surface of the skin by replacing the
lights coming from above with heat coming from below.
A corollary of what he is saying is that the sea is basically heated by
visible light absorption
rather than by heat radiation and is pretty impervious to global warming!

If the Sun's temperature was 4000 K, it would emitting far less
visible light - it would slightly warmer
than an incandescent
light bulb - therefore around 10 % of
light would
visible light rather than about 1/2 of the energy being
visible light.
I think that some part of the UV spectrum, like its close cousin
visible light, is mostly reflected
rather than absorbed and re-emitted, so it would go back out to Space like the
visible light that strikes clouds.
