“Once the thermal radiation reaches the surface temperature of the Sun-some 6000 degrees Celsius-we perceive it as white light. At still higher temperatures, 8500…

“When something glows from being heated, it emits light in all parts of the spectrum, but will always peak somewhere. For household lamps that…

The brightest light makes the blackest mark.

— Henry Holmes Smith

Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult…

The spectral density of black body radiation ... represents something absolute, and since the search for the absolutes has always appeared to me to…

Do not great Bodies conserve their heat the longest, their parts heating one another, and may not great dense and fix'd Bodies, when heated…

In the domain of art there is no light without heat.

— Victor Hugo

For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different…
