They're called quasars. Quasars originally meant quasi stellar object.

So I salute each of you and your stellar achievements.

A black hole does not make a kind neighbor to a stellar nursery.

At their peak spin rates, these maturing stars eject large amounts of stellar wind.

This equals the stellar mass of a large galaxy, but here the material apparently lies in an extended, gaseous, prestellar state.

Because the Pleiades cluster is so close, it serves as an ideal cosmic laboratory to compare stellar qualities with spin rates.

The Pleiades star cluster provides an anchor for theoretical models of stellar rotation going both directions, younger and older, said Rebull.

That was in the early 2000s when India was going gung ho about GDP growth as the means forward looking at China with its stellar growths of eight, nine, 10 percent and wondering, why can we do the same?

As individuals in such regimes ascend the hierarchy, patronage and risk aversion become the most critical factors in determining their chances for promotion. Consequently, such regimes grow increasingly sclerotic as they select leaders with stellar resumes but mediocre records.

More broadly, Obama s approach to governing has run counter to his early claim that he wanted to create a team of rivals that would offer competing views. His preference for surrounding himself with people who have proved their loyalty has produced a White House staff that is widely considered, even by some cabinet officials, to be less than stellar.

The Copenhagen Consensus Center a think tank where I serve as director recently asked a large group of top climate economists to explore the costs and benefits of different responses to global warming. At the same time, we convened a second, equally stellar group of economists, including three Nobel laureates, to examine all of the research and rank the proposals in order of desirability.
