By studying the light from stars, planets, and galaxies, we can discover what they are made up of, their surface temperature, and more. This lab starts by exploring the variety of colors of stars in the night sky, and progresses to determining which gases are emitting light by studying its bright line spectrum. Discover the motions of the moon as only a planetarium projector can do. Search for the answers to these questions and more. By simulating rural and urban conditions, students can be introduced to the problem of light pollution.
