... This produces what is called “radiation pressure” which tries to expand the star (essentially blow it up). The star is massive enough that it has a large “gravitional pressure” which tries to compress and crush the star. In a stable star there is an equilibrium between the gravitational and radiatio ...

... The figure shows observations of a visual binary star with period = 60 years. If we take random observational errors into account, the data indicate a circle shown on the right. But the true orbit in space cannot be a circle, because the primary star is far off-center. The orbit must be a highly ecc ...

... Dust grains make up only 1% of the mass of the interstellar medium. 5. Interstellar extinction is the effect by which starlight is blocked completely by interstellar material. 6. The light from distant stars is reddened by the dust through which it passes because dust grains scatter blue light more ...
