Luminosities [noun]

I wanted to write fiction, which was what Barry was reading, and he had wrapped me in sentences like cords of luminosity.

The first rung consists of “standard candle” stars in and around our own galaxy that have well-defined luminosities, and which are close enough to exhibit parallax — the only sure way to tell how far away things are without traveling there.

It basically breaks our understanding of the luminosities and brightnesses that kilonovae are supposed to have.

Our fellows were being hard beset to hold on to what they had won; there, where the horizon stood out with spectral luminosity.

The night grows dark, the wind rises and is cold, and the tide changes; so does the luminosity of the sea.

Other naturalists who have had opportunities of seeing the insect in its native regions strongly deny its luminosity.

The ideal method looks to the use of a very rich gas, and the burning of it with a maximum of luminosity.

Recently an extraordinary instance of luminosity was recorded as occurring in our own country.

Although the examples already cited are those of species of Agaric, luminosity is not by any means wholly confined to that genus.

Most of this remained where it had fallen, but a few of the larger pieces showed a faint luminosity and rose again.
