A pilot who crashed his microlight into a tree and was skewered by a
giant branch through his shoulder brushed off the serious injury by telling the doctors "I am Groot!".
Try enunciating RGB (red
giant branch) or AGN (active galactic nucleus) as if they were words.
Hydrae is an example of an AGB (asymptotic
giant branch) star.
The new
giant branch will be added to Al Jazirah vehicles' portfolio that consists of more than 200 facilities across Saudi Arabia.
As signaled by the subtitle, this manifestation of the conference focuses on complex atmospheres, binarity, dust, the cosmic matter cycle, external asymptotic
giant branch (AGB) star populations, and perspectives arising from new instrumentation.
As we stared at the
giant branch in surprise, its branches began to move.
Jean froze in horror as a
giant branch of a mighty aged oak split from its bark.
Abstract: The asymptoic
giant branch star R Sculptoris is surrounded by a detached shell of dust and gas.
The first conference, held in 2006, was subtitled "Their Importance as Actors and Probes," and the subtitle of the second is meant to reflect how new instruments will soon allow both a closer look at individual rather nearby stars, and investigate the bright asymptotic
giant branch (AGB) stars in external systems.
Sophie Howard, pictured here for the first time, was with friends when the
giant branch fell from a 50ft tree.
Nevertheless, it seemed better to me that they shouldn't be flogged off for I feared an eventual loosening of whatever rules and regulations might be imposed so that, in time, we'd find ourselves banned from any dappled glade that didn't contain a
giant branch of Tesco.
An August 2006 conference demonstrated the relevance of asymptotic
giant branch (AGB) stars and stellar astrophysics as a whole for the understanding of galactic structure and evolution.
