1. Also not working correctly is the near infrared mapping spectrometer, which analyzes light to determine the makeup of planets. 2. But members of the International Astronomical Union say no astronomer is going to acknowledge these names when charting or analyzing star light. 3. By analyzing light from exploding stars, they have discovered that the universe is expanding faster with time, like an accelerating race car. 4. Instead they use computers to analyze the light the object emits. 5. Johnson said the instruments most affected by the loss of the tape recorder would be the cameras and spectrometers, instruments for analyzing light. 6. Textron also has begun to market for commercial uses a spectrometer that analyzes light in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. 7. The helium detection was made by analyzing ultraviolet light from a distant quasar, those enigmatic bright objects that were fairly common in the early universe. 8. They emit light, and a telescope, aimed at exactly the spot where atoms excited by the laser are glowing measures and analyzes the light. 9. This return pulse is then collected by the mercury-mirror telescope, and its light is analyzed in terms of spectral composition. 10. To measure the rate, astronomers used telescopes to analyze light from exploding stars or supernovae. |
