CHARA array
The CHARA Array is an optical astronomical interferometer operated by The Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) of the Georgia State University (GSU).
Chara
This star is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type G0 V, with less than 108 percent of Sol's mass, under 111 percent of its diameter, and about 1.2 times its luminosity.
CHARA (Beta Canum Venaticorum). A lovely name for a northern star that vaults the heavens in northern spring, "Chara" from Greek meaning "joy.
Chara is the name assigned either to this star or, more generally, to the "southern hound" of the constellation Canes Venatici; the northern "hound" is called Asterion, a name not generally assigned any particular star.
CHARACTER OF THE SURFACE
Martian surface features smaller than 100 kilometres were a matter of pure conjecture until Mariners 4, 6, and 7 returned photographs of the planet in 1965 and 1969.
Character of the surface
The character of the Martian terrain has been well established from spacecraft photography and altimetry.
Pulsar Characteristic Age
When astronomers measure the period, or spin-rate of the rotation of a pulsar, they find that pulsars are slowing down, usually at a very consistent rate.
Characteristics
Originally thought to be old galactic halo Population II subdwarfs, the two stars are now thought to be younger galactic disk stars, but still considerably older than the Sun, perhaps as much as 8 billion years old.

Like all members of the order Caudata, newts are characterised by a lizard-like body with four equal sized limbs and a distinct tail. Aquatic larvae have true teeth on both upper and lower jaws and external gills.
CHARACTERISTIC X-RAY - X-ray emitted from an excited atom when an outer-shell (e.g. L) electron jumps in to fill an inner-shell (e.g. K) vacancy. It has energy characteristic of the atom and can therefore be used for analytical purposes.
Flare Characteristics
Solar flares are tremendous explosions on the surface of the Sun. In a matter of just a few minutes they heat material to many millions of degrees and release as much energy as a billion megatons of TNT.
Field characteristics
The field is similar to that of a bar magnet, but this similarity is superficial.
Visual Characteristics of the Milky Way
Among the constellations the Milky Way passes through are Carina, Crux (the Southern Cross), Sagittarius (where it is brightest), Scorpius, Aquila, Cygnus, Perseus, Cassiopeia, Auriga, and Gemini.

Chara, Canes Venatici's second brightest star, is rather unique, in that it's a yellow Sun-like star. If you wonder what our Sun might look like from some 30 light years away, Chara gives you a good idea.

The characteristic that distinguishes a giant star from a dwarf star is size, which depends on the star's mass and its stage in life. The characteristic that distinguishes a red star from a blue star is temperature.
The characteristic of type 1a supernovae that make them standard candles is that low redshift supernovae with similar durations and spectra have similar peak luminosities. Those observed at low redshift can be calibrated with Cepheid variables.
One characteristic of astronomy which tends to make its progress slow and continuous arises out of the general fact that, except in the case of motions to or from us, which can be determined by a single observation with the spectroscope, ...

Unique Characteristics
Jupiter has several unique characteristics:
The first one is its immense size. It is indeed, as its name suggests, the king of the planets. About 1,320 Earths could fit inside of it.

Shock Wave
A high-pressure wave that travels at supersonic speeds. Shock waves are usually produced by an explosion.

Each "flavor" of light is characterized by a particular wavelength. The visible spectrum is composed of light of different colors (the rainbow colors) and the wavelengths of this light ranges from about 700 nanometers to 400 nanometers.
Characteristic frequencies or "spectral lines" emitted by atoms usually have very sharply defined wavelengths--but if the light originates in a hot gas, the wavelength range is broadened, because the emitting atoms are in constant motion.
Physical and Orbital Characteristics
The first table lists some of the physical and orbital characteristics of the planets. Obliquity measures the angle of inclination of the equator to the orbital plane.
Within a group there may be one or more families of asteroids whose orbital characteristics are so much alike that they almost certainly came from the breakup of a single parent body.
This activity is designed for use after students have become familiar with the names and characteristics of the eight planets in our solar system.
