Picture images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are also available at your closest NASA Educator Resource Center. Connections to other disciplines can be used to broaden classroom discussion of the general principles learned in Star Light, Star Bright. Snakes' eyes are sensitive to infrared radiation.

Humans are nearly blind to most wavelengths of light.
Describe how you would see the world around you. Students working in small teams blow half dome bubbles with a straw on a cafeteria tray. The classroom lights above will appear as mini rainbows on the surface of the bubble. Students observe how the rainbow changes in appearance with time and with size of the bubble. Student can graph their data from the bubble experiment.
