While the scientific community was once divided between supporters of the Big Bang and those of alternative cosmological models, most scientists became convinced that some version of the Big Bang scenario best fit observations after the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964, and especially when its spectrum ( i. e., the amount of radiation measured at each wavelength ) was found to match that of thermal radiation from a black body.

While this attribution turned out to be incorrect ( stellar colors are indicators primarily of a star's temperature, not motion ) Doppler would later be vindicated by verified redshift observations.

While dealing with serious topics in what are now known as anthropology, sociology and psychology, he introduced a satirical approach, " based on the premise that, however serious the subject under review, it could be made more interesting and thus achieve greater effect, if only one leavened the lump of solemnity by the insertion of a few amusing anecdotes or by the throwing out of some witty or paradoxical observations.

While a unit is often the lowest level at which observations are made, in some cases, a unit can be further decomposed as a statistical assembly.

While objects in that direction lie in the Zone of Avoidance ( the part of the night sky obscured by the Milky Way galaxy ) and are thus difficult to study with visible wavelengths, X-ray observations have revealed that the region of space is dominated by the Norma cluster ( ACO 3627 ), a massive cluster of galaxies containing a preponderance of large, old galaxies, many of which are colliding with their neighbours, and / or radiating large amounts of radio waves.

While the red edge is almost certainly the easiest way to directly detect life on earth via earthshine observations, it could be extremely difficult to interpret a similar feature due to life on another planet, since the wavelength of the spectral feature is not known in advance ( unlike most atomic or molecular spectral features ).

While it may be confiding in the breeding and non-breeding seasons, and vagrant birds especially are extremely tame, they will still hide when they are aware of being watched, and will hesitate before entering the nest and even take roundabout routes towards the nest during prolonged observations.

While 83 of the fish that he described were done so in a conventional manner, the remaining four were done so based on visual observations.

While almost all astrophysicists today reject MOND in favor of dark matter, a small number of researchers continue to enhance it, recently incorporating Brans – Dicke theories into treatments that attempt to account for cosmological observations.

While observations on the night of December 29, 1992, were normal, unusually high albedo and polarization features were recorded the following night that did not change in appearance over the six minutes of data collection.

While the viewing conditions for this region were close to specular, it was argued that the amplitude of the observations were not consistent with a specular reflection of sunlight.
