At about 300 degrees below zero many materials become phosphorescent and glow after exposure to light. Air itself glows at that temperature unless impurities are removed. Impurities ruin phosphorescence, while filtered air allows it to occur on ivory, horn, india rubber, sponges, leather, cotton, and some flowers. Complex molecules show stronger phosphorescence, possibly due to their light vibration structures. Recent experiments raise questions about matter and the universe, suggesting some stars may glow from phosphorescence rather than fire.
