Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Oblations

👉 Oblation, in astronomy and astrophysics, refers to a region of space where light from distant stars or other celestial bodies appears to shine through dense clouds of gas and dust. This phenomenon is observed when an object far away is illuminated by nearby stars, which are thought to be emitting light due to the gravitational pull of their host star. The term "oblation" comes from the Greek word "oblatum," which means "to scatter or spread."
