emission lines: The distinct pattern
of electromagnetic emissions, seen as
bright lines, from any light-emitting
object. Since each element has a
characteristic pattern of emission
lines, astronomers use the
wavelength and other features of the
emission lines from a celestial object
to help determine its composition
and physical characteristics.
