Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Protomagnate

👉 protomagnate is a term used in physics and astronomy to describe an object that appears to be moving at a speed greater than light, but still slower than the speed of sound. This phenomenon occurs because the observer's perception of motion is affected by the effects of gravity and other forces beyond their control. The protomagnate effect can also occur when objects are observed in space or near the edge of our solar system.
