Spectrographs are used both in ground-based telescopes and in space to help astronomers answer questions about what makes up atmospheres of planets and stars. Mechanical and electrical engineers build these spectrographs to help advance our knowledge of astronomy. Simple spectrographs, like the one you will build today, are similar to the first spectrographs astronomers used in the past.
Our activities for today are
Once that is complete, we are going to use spectral data to explore Saturn and Titan. Click here for the link to the simulation. Click here for the information to write in your notebook.
