Telluric Current
Telluric (from the Latin ''tellus'', "earth") may refer to several things related to the Earth: * Telluric current, a natural electric current in the Earth's crust * Telluric contamination, contamination of astronomical spectra by the Earth's atmosphere (also can be referred to as ''Telluric lines'' or ''Telluric bands'') *Telluric compound, a compound which contains tellurium in the +6 oxidation state * ''Telluric'' (album), a 2016 album by the Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby Matthew John Corby (born ) is an Australian singer-songwriter. He achieved his commercial breakthrough with his fourth EP, ''Into the Flame'' (2011), which peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Charts, ARIA Singles Chart, and by April 2012, was certi ...

Telluric Contamination
Telluric contamination is contamination of the astronomical spectra by the Earth's atmosphere. Interference with astronomical observations Most astronomical observations are conducted by measuring photons (electromagnetic waves) which originate beyond the sky. The molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, however, absorb and emit their own light, especially in the visible and near-IR portion of the spectrum, and any ground-based observation is subject to contamination from these telluric (earth-originating) sources. Water vapor and oxygen are two of the more important molecules in telluric contamination. Contamination by water vapor was particularly pronounced in the Mount Wilson solar Doppler measurements. Many scientific telescopes have spectrographs, which measure photons as a function of wavelength or frequency, with typical resolution on the order of a nanometer of visible light. Spectroscopic observations can be used in myriad contexts, including measuring the chemical co ...

Tellurium
Tellurium is a chemical element; it has symbol Te and atomic number 52. It is a brittle, mildly toxic, rare, silver-white metalloid. Tellurium is chemically related to selenium and sulfur, all three of which are chalcogens. It is occasionally found in its native form as elemental crystals. Tellurium is far more common in the Universe as a whole than on Earth. Its extreme rarity in the Earth's crust, comparable to that of platinum, is due partly to its formation of a volatile hydride that caused tellurium to be lost to space as a gas during the hot nebular formation of Earth. Tellurium-bearing compounds were first discovered in 1782 in a gold mine in Kleinschlatten, Transylvania (now Zlatna, Romania) by Austrian mineralogist Franz-Joseph Müller von Reichenstein, although it was Martin Heinrich Klaproth who named the new element in 1798 after the Latin 'earth'. Gold telluride minerals are the most notable natural gold compounds. However, they are not a commercially signif ...

Telluric (album)
''Telluric'' is the debut studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby. The album was released on 11 March 2016. The album was announced in October 2015, alongside lead single, "Monday". Background He originally wrote his debut album two years ago in Los Angeles, but disliked the results and scrapped it. His aim was to become self-sufficient in every aspect of the recording process and salvage his confidence, which had reached rock bottom. He wanted to know he was good enough to make his debut record. Corby explained; "I recorded an album two years ago that I didn't like. For a lot of reasons I wouldn't release it. It took me a year and a half to clear my head of everything that happened, accept my failures, reboot and have the balls to do it again." On 1 October 2015, Corby released his first song in two years, "Monday" as the lead single from his debut album. The song reportedly took 10 minutes to record, and was laid down in a cottage in the NSW coastal town of Berry ...
