Just as a photographic plate receives a different impression of a cluster
of stars when a telescope is part of the intervening medium, so a brain receives a different impression when an eye and an optic nerve are part of the intervening medium.
Levin listened to the monotonous drip from the lime trees in the garden, and looked at the triangle
of stars he knew so well, and the Milky Way with its branches that ran through its midst.
Among these 5,000 nebulae there is one which has received the name of the Milky Way, and which contains eighteen millions
of stars, each of which has become the center of a solar world.
This stage was soon succeeded by another, in which there was nothing in the universe save stars and the light
of stars; as she looked up the pupils of her eyes so dilated with starlight that the whole of her seemed dissolved in silver and spilt over the ledges of the stars for ever and ever indefinitely through space.
Hosts
of stars are visible to-night, though their brilliancy is eclipsed by the splendour of the moon.
Understanding the age and mass
of stars that die as type 1a supernovas could be critical to revealing the origin of these explosions, says Reynolds.
The newfound stars are all red dwarfs, one of the most common types
of stars in the Milky Way.
After all, the Milky Way, our home galaxy (large system
of stars), contains at, least 200 billion stars.
Teach campers to identify other groups
of stars and tell them the stories of Orion, Cassiopeia, Centaurus, and the other gods and goddesses of Greek mythology.
Since 1999, the astronomers have been monitoring hundreds
of stars, looking for motions indicating that some might lie close to the solar system.
In many cases, the stellar pair kicks away the new dwarf but doesn't give the body enough oomph to escape a surrounding cluster
of stars. That would account for the multitude of brown dwarf loners found in young stellar clusters, such as the Orion star-forming region.
They detected increases in the brightness
of stars in a nearby galaxy.
