Decoding the Message in Starlight

The RS-Spectroscope attaches to an eyepiece to spread light from stars and nebulae into a rainbow
of colors, colors that provide a whole new way to enjoy astronomy. Astronomers analyze the
rainbows of stars -- analyze the colors present and the colors missing -- to decode the message
in starlight, a message that reveals the true nature of stars, nebulae and the universe. Use the
RS-Spectroscope to experience what astronomy textbooks only describe. Discover the absorption and
emission lines that fingerprint the chemical makeup of stars and nebulae. See the OBAFGKM spectral
sequence in living color. Visualize the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram that arranges stars by
luminosity, size, temperature, pasts, presents and futures.
