Redshift The Universe

Galaxies Spiral- Whirlpool Galaxy 3ec14873a296051bd94e54e498ea8.jpg Elliptical- NGC Barred Spiral- NGC jpg Irregular- “The Cosmic Bird”

Planet Formation ges/0.Our_solar_system.JPG

Star Formation

Star Clusters Globular Cluster- 47 Tucanae Open Cluster- The Jewel Box

H-R Diagram au/bcw/Placid/PUF- 3-hrdiagram.jpg Cluster Demo H-R Diagram

Stellar Evolution Here, the pressure out equals the gravity in. Mass determines the evolution

Class Hotter Cooler Spectral Classification

Spectroscopy

s7.htm DSS-7 Spectrograph ges/project_images/solar_spectrum.jpg The appearance of a stellar spectrum. Spectra are usually recorded digitally as a graph rather than in bands of light.

How a spectrograph works: Dispersion of light from a diffraction grating light
