its star is a red giant - a massive star near the end of its life. it is too dim to see in the night sky from earth without a telescope.
gliese 581是一颗已经接近生命终点的红巨星,星光十分暗淡,在没有天文望远镜的情况下,从夜空中根本无法看到。
this star is a red giant with a visual magnitude of 17.
这颗恒星是一颗红巨人与一个视觉幅度17。
about 200 light-years distant, mirach is a red giant star, cooler than the sun but much larger and so intrinsically much brighter than our parent star.
据我们大约200光年的奎宿九是可以红色巨星,其温度比太阳低,但却大得多,因此本身就比我们的母星明亮。
if a red giant is big enough (has sufficient mass), once it runs out helium it will move on to fusing other elements.
如果一个红巨星质量足够大,一旦它耗尽氦元素,会继续聚变成其他元素;
convection within the red giant dredges the new proto-dust atoms from the core up to the surface.
红巨星内部的对流碰撞出新的原始尘埃原子会从其核心撞到表面。
of course, in about five-billion years, our sun will become a red giant and likely will swallow up the inner planets and the planets「 accompanying moons.
当然,在大约50亿万年内,我们的太阳将会变成一颗红巨星,并且很可能将吞噬掉内行星和这些行星的卫星。
first, it」s really old — past the red giant phase, when stars balloon in size and swallow up planets in close orbits.
首先,它非常非常老了——它经历过红巨星阶段,这一阶段的恒星会急剧膨胀,吞噬在临近轨道运行的行星。
first, it「s really old—past the red giant phase, when stars balloon in size and swallow up planets in close orbits.
首先,它太老了——甚至已经经过了红巨星阶段,红巨星阶段的恒星体积会迅速膨胀,并吞没近轨道的行星。
one explanation is that hip 13044 swallowed its inner planets during the red giant phase, which would make the star spin more quickly.
一种解释是hip13044在红巨星阶段吞噬了它的一些带内行星,这可能使它自转得更快。
does a red giant wake up one morning and suddenly just decide to go supernova?
红巨星难道是在某天早晨醒来后忽然决定进行超新星爆发?
in another 5 billion years it will swell into a red giant and either consume our planet or bake its surface to concrete.
再过五十亿年,它将膨胀成一颗红巨星,到时就算我们的地球不被它吞并,行星表面也将被烤成混凝土。
right before a star dies, it explodes into its red giant phase, rapidly ballooning in size and brightness, blasting planet-warming solar radiation far and wide.
恒星衰亡之前,即当它爆炸成为红巨星的阶段,其体积迅速膨胀,发出耀目的光芒,爆炸产生的能使行星变暖的太阳辐射范围十分宽广。
in this model, gas flows from the large red giant companion star into a disk and then onto the white dwarf.
这个模型是指气体从大型红巨星伴星流到白矮星的吸积盘上然后被吸进白矮星中。
however, gd 362 started out as a star like the sun in our solar system. but when the star used up its fuel, it swelled up into a red giant and then ejected its outer shell.
gd362诞生的时候和从太阳系中的太阳类似,当它的燃料用尽时,膨胀为红巨星,喷射沖出外壳。
from the spin rate of the parent star, which is faster than it should be, scientists think the red giant already has consumed some of hip 13044b」s sisters.
这颗红巨星的旋转速度要比正常情况下要快,基于这个现象,科学家们认为这颗红巨星已经形成了hip10044b的其他姐妹行星。
in 2005, an international team of astronomers discovered that dying red giant stars could act like a defibrillator and bring icy planets back from the dead.
2005年,一组国际天文学家发现,衰亡的红巨星能够像除纤颤器一样工作,让这颗冰冷的星球起死回生。
