Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Maundering

👉 "Maundering" in astronomy refers to a phenomenon where stars grow brighter as they get closer to us. This is thought to be caused by the gravitational pull of the star on its orbit, which pulls it closer and causes its light to shine longer. The "maundering effect" can also refer to the fact that the sun's brightness decreases over time due to the Earth's rotation slowing down.
