Skylab made the first time - resolved observations of the solar transition region and of
ultraviolet emissions from the solar corona.
Instead, it detects
the ultraviolet emission from the cooler plasma (~ 18,000 to 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit) at their footpoints.
This image of the Mars night side shows
ultraviolet emission from nitric oxide (abbreviated NO).
Using Keck Observatory's powerful infrared spectrograph called MOSFIRE, the team dated the galaxy by detecting its Lyman - alpha emission line — a signature of hot hydrogen gas heated by strong
ultraviolet emission from newly born stars.
Figure 1 (a) represents the corrected visible light from Neptune from 1950 to 2006; (b) shows the temperature anomalies of the Earth; (c) shows the total solar irradiance as a percent variation by year; (d) shows
the ultraviolet emission from the Sun (Source: Hammel and Lockwood (2007)-RRB-.

Images
from Cassini's
ultraviolet imaging spectrometer (UVIS), obtained
from an unusually close range of about six Saturn radii, provided a look at the changing patterns of faint
emissions on scales of a few hundred miles (kilometers) and tied the changes in the auroras to the fluctuating wind of charged particles blowing off the sun and flowing past Saturn.
By studying such a large data set — over 200,000 galaxies in 21 different wavelengths, or colors of light,
from ultraviolet to infrared — astronomers compared the energy
emissions from galaxies across a wide swath of space and time to read the history of the universe.
The team concluded that the resulting drastic fluctuations in pH and
ultraviolet radiation, combined with an overall temperature increase
from greenhouse gas
emissions, could have contributed to the end - Permian mass extinction on land.
The aftermath of the neutron star collision detected in August included the gravitational waves spotted by LIGO and VIRGO (pale arcs); a near - light - speed jet that produced gamma rays (magenta); expanding debris
from a kilonova — an explosion similar to a supernova, but smaller — that produced
ultraviolet (violet), optical and infrared (blue - white to red)
emission; and X-rays (blue).
Because observations
from the Voyager spacecraft, now leaving the heliosphere, are decreasingly affected by the H glow, the
ultraviolet spectrographs are detecting Lyα diffuse
emission from our Galaxy.
To probe how stars of all masses develop over their lifespan, their
emissions in the range
from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) are particularly important.
Ultraviolet and infrared light
emissions from the super spirals indicate that they are producing up to 30 times as many stars as the number created in our own Milky Way galaxy.
My work currently focuses on observations of the
ultraviolet light emitted
from small stars, and in particular flares of that
emission.
These star - formation rate estimators include the
ultraviolet light that is emitted
from young stars, the infrared light that shows how much of the
ultraviolet light was absorbed by dust, and the nebular
emission lines that are caused by young stars making the clouds of gas around them glow and radiate.
The Guo Shou Jing telescope was able to harvest short
ultraviolet light
emissions from the 100,000 stars involved in the study, in the space of a few weeks.
Changes in the total solar irradiance (TSI) with enhanced extreme
ultraviolet (EUV)
emission have been hypothesized to induce a dynamic air / ocean circulation response resulting
from stratospheric ozone production (Lean & Rind 1998).
