The scintillation arcs also gave us the velocities of the plasma layers. Far from being as expected, we discovered that one ...

Astronomers have observed a twinkling star and discovered an abundance of mysterious plasma structures in our cosmic ...

As their light travels through Earth’s atmosphere, it gets bent and bounced around by moving air and temperature changes. This causes stars to appear as if they are flickering or “twinkling.” ...

While pulsars emit radio waves rather than visible light (like stars), they still “twinkle” because of turbulence ... the pulsar and its energetic wind of fast-moving particles create a ...

With the most powerful radio telescope in the southern hemisphere, we have observed a twinkling star and discovered an abundance of mysterious plasma structures in our cosmic neighborhood.

To the naked eye, the twinkling of a star might appear random ... we discovered that one inner plasma structure is moving towards the shock front against the flow of the shocked material in ...
