Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy. Astronomers can learn an immense amount from the details of lines in the spectrum of light coming from planets and stars. This tool is used by chemists, biologists, physicists and all of the other natural sciences. It is based on the quantum or particle (photon) nature of light.

Learning from Light

Learning from Light. Our goals for learning What are the three basic types of spectra? How does light tell us what things are made of? How does light tell us the temperatures of planets and stars? How do we interpret an actual spectrum?. What are the three basic types of spectra?.
