Best Answer

The emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared radiation, visible light, microwaves, and radio waves. These emissions are all measurable and are also used to determine how far the star is and how fast/far it is moving away from our galaxy based on the expanding universe theory.
