Due to its proximity to Earth, the Sun is the brightest source of astronomical radio emission. But of course, other stars also produce radio emission and may produce much more intense radiation in absolute terms than is observed from the Sun.
The energy produced by stars, a product of nuclear fusion, radiates to space as both electromagnetic radiation and particle radiation. The particle radiation emitted by a star is manifested as the stellar wind, [173] which streams from the outer layers as electrically charged protons and alpha and beta particles. A steady stream of almost ...
However, this luminosity appears to vary, causing the star's apparent magnitude to range between 2.23–2.28. [5] This energy is being radiated into space from the star's outer envelope at an effective temperature of 7,500 K, [7] giving Iota Carinae the white hue typical of an A-type star. [20]
NASA has launched the first of two research satellites to measure how much heat is lost to space from the Arctic and Antarctica. NASA launches tiny CubeSat to set its sights on Earth Skip to main ...
On those nights, the moon will be nearly invisible, so the extra darkness may help you observe 10-20 shooting stars per hour. Nov. 5: Supermoon The largest and closest full moon of 2025 will occur ...
The Webb Space Telescope is marking one year of cosmic photographs with one of its best yet: the dramatic close-up of dozens of stars at the moment of birth. The region is relatively small and ...
This process releases energy that traverses the star's interior and radiates into outer space. At the end of a star's lifetime as a fusor, its core becomes a stellar remnant: a white dwarf, a neutron star, or—if it is sufficiently massive—a black hole. Stellar nucleosynthesis in stars or their remnants creates almost all naturally occurring ...
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shows at least 17 dust rings – resembling a fingerprint – created by a rare type of star and its companion, locked in a celestial dance.
