Interstellar reddening is a phenomenon associated with interstellar extinction where the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source changes characteristics from that which the object originally emitted. Reddening occurs due to the light scattering off dust and other matter in the interstellar medium.
In interstellar astronomy, visible spectra can appear redder due to scattering processes in a phenomenon referred to as interstellar reddening [50] —similarly Rayleigh scattering causes the atmospheric reddening of the Sun seen in the sunrise or sunset and causes the rest of the sky to have a blue color.
but also writes that "the book is a fairly disorganized, rambling affair whose topics and metaphors leap wildly to and fro." [ 5 ] A Daily Kos book reviewer writes that Interstellar "provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how a [human and alien life] interaction might actually occur, resetting our cultural understanding and ...
2I/Borisov comet, the second confirmed interstellar object, photographed in late-2019 beside a distant galaxy. An interstellar object is an astronomical object (such as an asteroid, a comet, or a rogue planet, but not a star or stellar remnant) in interstellar space that is not gravitationally bound to a star.
The book describes the 2017 detection of ʻOumuamua, the first known interstellar object to pass through the Solar System. [8] [9] Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard University, speculates that the object might be an extraterrestrial artifact, [10] a suggestion considered unlikely by the scientific community collectively.
A comparison of this value with the apparent magnitude allows the approximate distance to be determined, after correcting for interstellar extinction of the luminosity because of gas and dust. In a gravitationally-bound star cluster such as the Hyades, the stars formed at approximately the same age and lie at the same distance. This allows ...
[77] [78] In the Old Testament of the Bible, the Book of Isaiah said: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow." [ 79 ] In the New Testament , in the Book of Revelation , the Antichrist appears as a red monster, ridden by a woman dressed in scarlet, known as the Whore of Babylon .
