It is the star in the tail of the bear closest to its body, and thus the star in the handle of the Big Dipper closest to the bowl.

After the victory Boston's owner sold its star pitcher, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees to help funding of a Broadway play, and thus starting a tale of futility which would last 86 years, known as Curse of the Bambino.

Like white dwarfs these objects are extremely compact and are supported by degeneracy pressure, but a neutron star is so massive and compressed that electrons and protons have combined to form neutrons, and the star is thus supported by neutron degeneracy pressure instead of electron degeneracy pressure.

In the Halo franchise, the weak, low-ranking Grunts of the Covenant originate on a frozen exoplanet named Balaho, where methane is a primary constituent of the atmosphere, prevents the planet becoming even more frigid than it already is due to its distance from its parent star, and thus, Grunts have evolved to utilize the gas for respiration.

However, this type of massive star eventually evolves into a cooler red giant which rotates more slowly and thus can be measured using the radial velocity method.

When a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, frictional, pressure, and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gasses cause the body to heat up and emit light, thus forming a fireball, also known as a meteor or shooting / falling star.

The Sun is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.

The gas falling inward either rebounds or gets so strongly heated that it expands outwards from the core, thus causing the star to explode.

Gerbert instructed Constantine that, if doubtful of the position of the pole star, he should fix the sighting tube of the armillary sphere into position to view the star he suspected was it, and if the star did not move out of sight, it was thus the pole star.

However, Eggan's examples use a large alphabet, of size 2 < sup > n </ sup >- 1 for the language with star height n. He thus asked whether we can also find examples over binary alphabets.

Star names from these catalogues include the initials of which of the four catalogues they are from ( though the Southern follows the example of the Bonner and uses BD ; CPD is often shortened to CP ), followed by the angle of declination of the star ( rounded towards zero, and thus ranging from + 00 to + 89 and-00 to-89 ), followed by an arbitrary number as there are always thousands of stars at each angle.

For instance Barnard's star has the highest known proper motion of any star and is thus notable even though it is far too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

It has been shown that this feature is a general measure of the size of the star, and thus of the total luminosity output from the star.

It is notable as the first constellation listed in the pair of tablets containing the canonical star lists compiled around 1000 BC, which are thus known as the MUL. APIN by their incipit.

However, when a star is located along the Earth's axis of rotation, it will remain in the same position and thus is called a pole star.

As in the conventional star network, individual nodes may thus still be isolated from the network by a single-point failure of a transmission path to the node.

After the hydrogen fuel at the core has been consumed, the star evolves away from the main sequence on the HR diagram.

The star then evolves into a degenerate form, recycling a portion of its matter into the interstellar environment, where it will form a new generation of stars with a higher proportion of heavy elements.

In close binary systems the more massive primary component evolves faster and has already become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole, when the less massive companion reaches the giant state and exceeds its Roche lobe.

This kick may cause its new orbit to intersect with its companion, or, if its companion is a main sequence star, be engulfed by its companion when it evolves into a red giant.

As a result the young star becomes a weakly lined T Tauri star, which slowly, over hundreds of millions of years, evolves into an ordinary sun-like star.

As the star evolves, it may swing back and forth between red supergiant ( slow, dense wind ) and blue supergiant ( fast, sparse wind ) several times and give concentric faint shells around itself.

BO Microscopii is a rapidly rotating star, and PSR J2144-3933 is an unusual pulsar with an unusually long rotation period.

Although lower mass stars normally do not burn off their outer layers so rapidly, they can likewise avoid becoming red giants or red supergiants if they are in binary systems close enough so that the companion star strips off the envelope as it expands, or if they rotate rapidly enough so that convection extends all the way from the core to the surface, resulting in the absence of a separate core and envelope due to thorough mixing.

However, this discrepancy can be explained if Vega is a rapidly rotating star that is being viewed from the direction of its pole of rotation.

As Vega had long been used as a standard star for calibrating telescopes, the discovery that it is rapidly rotating may challenge some of the underlying assumptions that were based on it being spherically symmetric.

When fusion no longer generates enough pressure to counteract gravity, the star rapidly collapses to form a black hole.

Most observed GRBs are believed to consist of a narrow beam of intense radiation released during a supernova as a rapidly rotating, high-mass star collapses to form a neutron star, quark star, or black hole.

The most widely accepted mechanism for the origin of long-duration GRBs is the collapsar model, in which the core of an extremely massive, low-metallicity, rapidly rotating star collapses into a black hole in the final stages of its evolution.

As more massive stars evolve more rapidly, this implies that the progenitor star for Cygnus X-1 had more than 40 solar masses.

LSI + 61 ° 303 is a variable radio source characterized by periodic, non-thermal radio outbursts with a period of 26. 496 d. The 26. 5 d period has been attributed to the eccentric orbital motion of a compact object, probably a neutron star, around a rapidly rotating B0 Ve star, with a T < sub > eff </ sub > ~ 26, 000 K and luminosity of 10 < sup > 31 </ sup > watts ( 10 < sup > 38 </ sup > erg s < sup >− 1 </ sup >).

This anomaly was finally identified as the signal of a rapidly rotating neutron star.

As the planet penetrated deeper into the atmosphere, friction would become stronger and kinetic energy would be released into the star more rapidly.

The name of the software refers to a rapidly rotating neutron star.

Golf was growing rapidly in popularity and media coverage during the early 1960s, led by the performances of these three star players, with Palmer's charging style and personal popularity making him the world's most marketable sports figure.

The speckles move around rapidly, so that each star appears as a single fuzzy blob in long exposure images ( called a seeing disc ).

The speckles move around very rapidly, so that in a long-exposure photograph the star would appear as a single blurred blob.

The speckles move around very rapidly, so that in a long-exposure photograph the star would appear as a single blurred blob.

This was probably because he had imitated the style of Raphael, a rapidly rising star in the papal court.

Starbonds can be volatile, as an actor or director may star in five blockbuster movies before starring in a small independent film, which would cause their starbond to fall rapidly.

The speckles move around rapidly, so that each star appears as a single fuzzy blob in long exposure images.
