Best Answer

The hydrogen line or "shine" is the frequency (1420.40575177 MHz) or wavelength (21.10611405413 cm) of electromagnetic energy emitted by an excited hydrogen atom. This is not a "shine" in the sense of visible - it is in the microwave frequency range. It is useful in radio astronomy because it passes through dust clouds that block visible light.
