Michelsonkontrasti
Michelsonkontrasti refers to a phenomenon observed in astronomical observations, specifically related to the apparent brightness of celestial objects. It describes the difference in brightness between a celestial object and its immediate surroundings. This contrast is crucial for detecting faint objects, such as exoplanets or distant galaxies, against the bright background of stars or nebulae.
The concept is often discussed in the context of the Michelson interferometer, although the term "Michelsonkontrasti"
The ability to discern details within an astronomical object is also influenced by this contrast. For instance,
