Usage examples of supergiant.

Oddly, however, it did not break away from the red supergiant it was orbiting.

They have so little time in their corporeal form, and the universe they find themselves in, the splendour of the gas supergiant and its multifarious satellites, is large.

Proximity to the infrared glow of the supergiant gave it a perpetual tropical climate, with the warm, wet air of the nearside constantly on the move, rushing around to the farside where it cooled, radiating its thermal load away into space, and then returning via storms which traversed the poles.

It was replaced in the 3-D display by a long, twisting volume of space, dotted with the beacons of supergiant stars and great obscuring clouds of dust and gas.

Even across the distance of the Gulf, it is possible to identify certain of the supergiant marker stars employed in celestial navigation within the Orion Arm.

Our atoms were formed in the dense interiors of supergiant stars billions of years ago.

The capture of Batalix by the supergiant was only an event of the first magnitude and not a catastrophe for Helliconian life, although it was catastrophic for many phyla and many individuals.

X-ray sources like Cyg X-l generally turned out to be: black holes or neutron stars that circled a blue supergiant companion, relentlessly sucking away its gases.

And then, for a brief period of thirty or forty thousand years, a reversal of the mass exchange as the companion star in turn burned up its hydrogen and bloated to a blue supergiant, while the relentless hole devoured its substance.

A blue supergiant someoh, twenty times larger than the sun will begin to lose mass in the form of a solar wind, at the rate of about a millionth of a solar mass per year.

A blue-white supergiant star must inevitably squander its energy resources, running through fusion fuel supplies in just a few million years.

Astronomers can spectroscopically identify a vast supergiant star which moves alternately nearer to and farther from Earth every few days.

Cadillac-size thing that blazed as if made from the stuff of supergiant stars.

Red supergiants are the least dense and among the coolest of all stellar formations, particularly in the surface areas.
