... Be Stars . ... Stellar Winds . ... He had found the first emission line star. ... More emission line stars were found soon, and one had to make subclasses to keep some overview. Cas is a main sequence B-type star, and together with other such stars showing hydrogen emission it forms the class of "Be stars", where the "e" stands for emission. ... Struve further speculated that those stars would be surrounded by a disk, basically thrown off the stellar surface by the rapid rotation. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Mad Science . ... if hubble was pointed at earth, what could it resolve? is it too bright? ... This type of image is called a ``flat field'', because you want the field of view to look as flat as possible. In space there aren't any flat fields you can use, but we do have one right here: the Earth. ... It takes a lot of sophisticated computer processing to turn this into a real flat field for Hubble to use, but luckily there are a lot of smart people working on the problem. ...

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ... HISA Main ...
