r vapor absorbs light that we cant see with our eyes. What we feel as heat, infrared light, so we can take observations like that from that location that are not possible almost anywhere else in the world, said Dr. Roy Gal, University of Hawaii Assistant Astronomer & Outreach Coordinator.
in opposite directions and then colliding, the smaller of the two black holes may have been kicked away, flying out of its home galaxy, known as Markarian 177, and dragging with it a cloud of glowing, superheated gas and material that can be directly measured using various instruments, said Roy Gal
many factors. For comets like Pan-STARRS, we don't know many of the physical properties, like the size of the nucleus or how active it will be. And when such a comet passes close to the sun, it can fragment, astronomer Roy Gal, with the University of Hawaii, wrote in an email to Discovery News.
Roy Gal, an assistant astronomer at the University of Hawaii, told those viewing the transit at Waikiki Beach on Oahu that the telescopes were filtered to block all but 1/100th of 1 percent of the sun's light, plus all its infrared rays to keep the instruments from overheating.
