In the intensely feudalized Auvergne of the 10th century, the town grew up around the collegiate Church of Saint Amabilis ( Saint Amable ), the local saint, who was the object of pilgrimages.

Some 2, 000 Eusthenopteron specimens have been collected from Miguasha, one of which was the object of intensely detailed study and several papers from the 1940s to the 1990s by paleoichthyologist Erik Jarvik.

About 50 million light-years from Earth, M77 is also a Seyfert galaxy and thus a bright object in the radio spectrum.

* caustics ( a form of indirect illumination ) — reflection of light off a shiny object, or focusing of light through a transparent object, to produce bright highlights on another object

However, more recently the relatively bright object has been discovered.

Mariner 4 was the first space probe that needed a star for a navigational reference object, since earlier missions, which remained near either the Earth, the Moon, or the planet Venus, had sighted onto either the bright face of the home planet or the brightly lit target.

The star tracker was set to respond to any object more than one-eighth as, and less than eight times as bright as Canopus.

Among the possibilities are a large asteroid greatly disturbed in its orbit by close approach to a major planet such as Jupiter, or it may be one of many long-period planetary objects yet to be discovered, or a bright cometary object.

The advantage of this type is that both the horizon and celestial object are bright and as clear as possible.

This bright object forms the background for the " shadow " of a filament of gas and dust.

This means that a small amount of surface roughness of the circular object can completely cancel out the bright spot.

The real object is the ( blue ) sky or any distant object in that direction, meaning we see a bright bluish patch on the ground in the distance.

Of particular note in this video is the spherical " ghost " image slightly trailing the main object ( this is likely a lens reflection of the intense fireball ), and the bright fireball explosion associated with the breakup of a substantial fraction of the object.

An object trail can be seen to continue northward after the bright fireball event.

The difference between the maximum and minimum brightnesses ( the amplitude of the light curve ) can be due to the shape of the object, or to bright and dark areas on its surface.

The object came in from the northeast, as bright as the Sun.

For HST, this includes finding guide stars, checking on bright object constraints, implementing specific scheduling requirements, and working with observers to understand and factor in specific or any non-standard requirements they may have.

This means that a light source must be four times as bright to produce the same illuminance at an object twice as far away.

The most efficient way to produce it was through visual fixation on a small bright object held eighteen inches above and in front of the eyes.

Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824, this object is one of the closest to the Earth of all the bright planetary nebulae.

The Dumbbell Nebula ( M27 ), is a large, bright planetary nebula which was discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764 as the very first object of its kind.

During outburst, a bright SXT is the brightest object in the X-ray sky, and the apparent magnitude is about 12.

Viewed through a small telescope, the Trifid Nebula is a bright and peculiar object, and is thus a perennial favorite of amateur astronomers.

Pixel shading is often used for things like bump mapping, which adds texture, to make an object look shiny, dull, rough, or even round or extruded.

Sir Richard Blackmore ( 22 January 1654 – 9 October 1729 ), English poet and physician, is remembered primarily as the object of satire and as an example of a dull poet.

The color of any heated object changes predictably ( due to black body radiation ) from dull red through orange and yellow to white, and can be a useful indicator of its temperature.

This is usually done with a pointed but dull object such as the tip of a pen.

The military determines local geomagnetic field characteristics, in order to detect anomalies in the natural background that might be caused by a significant metallic object such as a submerged submarine.

If another coil is used to measure the electric field ( acting as a magnetometer ), the change in the magnetic field due to the metallic object can be detected.

Lighter colors and also whites and metallic substances absorb less illuminating light, and thus heat up less ; but otherwise color makes small difference as regards heat transfer between an object at everyday temperatures and its surroundings, since the dominant emitted wavelengths are nowhere near the visible spectrum, but rather in the far infrared.

A shiny or metallic silvertone object can be painted with transparent yellow to obtain goldtone, something often done with Christmas decorations.

In December 2005, just before the 40th anniversary of the Kecksburg crash, NASA released a statement to the effect that they had examined metallic fragments from the object and now claimed it was from a re-entering " Russian satellite ".

For example, 22 Kalliope has an accurately known density that is far too low for a solid metallic object or even a metal rubble pile: a rubble pile of iron-nickel metal would need about 70 % porosity which is inconsistent with packing considerations.

One of Roney's assistants uncovers part of a metallic object.

However, like the asteroids 22 Kalliope and 21 Lutetia, the radar albedo of the object is inconsistent with a metallic composition.

Although the plug is female, with a partially recessed center contact, it is still possible for casual accidental contact with a metallic object to short-circuit the power source.

It is later revealed that Kup is fully functional again due to a type of Pretender shell ( which resembles his original body ), constructed and programmed by Perceptor and Prowl, with a metallic cigar-like object keeping his crystal addiction at bay.

The detected object may be metallic ( metal and cable detection ) or conductive / capacitive ( stud / cavity detection ).

A metallic cocoon-like object emerges from the Cradle's core, and Abadd's voice can be heard from within it.

There in the ground, growing, they find a small round metallic object.

It is usually caused by the ingestion of a sharp, metallic object.

However, if the sharp object is not metallic or dense enough the radiograph is of no use.
