Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Subradiate

👉 The term "subradiate" in the context of astronomy refers to a star that is located closer to its parent galaxy than any other star. This means that the star's distance from the central point of the galaxy (the galactic center) is less than its own radius, making it appear as though the star were radiating light through its own glow instead of emitting it. Subradiation can be observed in some galaxies but not all.
