She could see the window, through the pulsating stars.

A great, pulsating star hung low in the sky over Indian Head.

It is a red giant and is a semi-regular pulsating star.

But it was his student, Jocelyn Bell, who actually spotted the pulsating stars.

Hubble was measuring distance using pulsating stars called Cepheids.

This means that a spherically pulsating star cannot emit gravitational waves.

The word pulsar is short for "pulsating star".

These are short period (six hours at most) pulsating stars which have been used as standard candles and as subjects to study astroseismology.

The pulsating stars swell and shrink, affecting the brightness and spectrum.

These measurements could be important in determining distances to stars and in searching for pulsating stars.

The cepheids, giant pulsating stars also used in distance measurements, have recently served as yardsticks only out to 16 million light-years.

Pulsating stars confirm that stars are continuously evolving.

There are several types of pulsating star not found on the instability strip and with pulsations driven by different machanisms.

V744 Cen, is a semi-regular variable pulsating star.

V450 Aquilae is semi-regular pulsating star.

The Cepheids are pulsating stars; they twinkle more emphatically than any object known to mankind, and scientists can use them to gauge distance.

The orbiting telescope is designed to chart the distances to giant pulsating stars in the nearby Virgo Cluster.

In recent observations, the telescope's wide-field camera detected 27 giant pulsating stars in a faint galaxy 16 million light-years away.

For adults who find sky shows soporific, the wormhole also offers an eye-opening visit to Betelgeuse, a super-giant pulsating star.

These non-radially pulsating stars have short periods of hundreds to thousands of seconds with tiny fluctuations of 0.001 to 0.2 magnitudes.

In particular, Georgia State astronomers want to study pulsating stars and binary star systems, where there are two or more stars in orbit about each other.

Role in Pulsar Discovery Mapping radio sources in the sky led to an understanding of pulsating stars that had puzzled astronomers.

Rising and falling in intensity like pulsating stars, his eyes fixed precisely on Jessica Penn, and seemed to be sweeping over her like harrows.

This group consists of several kinds of pulsating stars that swell and shrink very regularly by the star's own mass resonance, generally by the fundamental frequency.

Pulsating stars in this part of the instability strip that intersects the upper part of the main sequence are called Delta Scuti variables.
