🪐 The rapidly spinning star Vega in the constellation Lyra is unusual for its extreme rotation speed—completing one turn in just about 12.5 hours—which flattens it at the equator and makes its poles much hotter than the rest of its surface. This striking temperature difference, called “gravity darkening,” gives Vega its distinctive, uneven glow compared to most stars in our night sky. ✨ #stars⚡#vega⚡#mysteries⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries
