We study a time-dependent and spherically-symmetric solution with a star-likesource. We show that this solution can be interpreted as an exterior solutionof a contracting star which has a decreasing temperature and is immersed in ahomogenous and isotropic background radiation. Distribution of the temperaturein the fields and close-to Schwarzschild approximation of the solution arestudied. By identifying the radiation with the cosmic background one, we findthat the close-to-Schwarzschild approximate solution is valid in a wide rangein our solar system. Possible experimental tests of the solution are discussedbriefly.Comment: Latex, 7 pages, no figures, to appear in J. Math. Phys.(2002
