Detail Page

published by the Annenberg Foundation
This web page, part of the Annenberg Media Teachers' Labs, enables visitors to analyze the spectrum of a star and determine its composition.  The site displays spectra of various elements and then shows a stellar spectrum, so the user can match spectral lines and identify elements in the star. Several samples of stellar spectra are provided.
