Visible Light and Beyond “White light” is made up of a rainbow of colors, each with a different wavelength.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Our eyes see only part of the electromagnetic spectrum…

Each part of the spectrum impacts our daily lives… “Invisible” Light in Society Microwave ovens Communications Remote controls X-rays UV Sunscreen

NASA SMD Astrophysics: Discover the origin, structure, evolution, and destiny of the universe, and search for Earth-like planets

We collect light from distant objects, and bring together researchers from many disciplines. The Tools of Our Search

Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)

Chandra X-ray telescope

NASA Resources

Representative Color

“Invisible” Light in Astronomy Each part of the spectrum provides a piece of the puzzle in understanding our universe.

The Pinwheel Galaxy

Irregulars Huge collections of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity… Spirals Ellipticals Galaxies: How Do They Form and Evolve?

M82: A Burst of Star Formation InfraredVisible X-Ray

Centaurus A InfraredVisibleX-Ray

To find the earliest galaxies, we will need to explore the universe in the infrared. Looking Back in Time

The Orion Nebula InfraredVisible X-Ray

Our Place in the Universe

Spectra = Signatures

Active Astronomy Lessons Compare and contrast visible & infrared light 1. Overview and pre-test 2. What’s getting through to you? gel filters 3. Seeing the Invisible detector circuits 4. Reflection of Visible and Invisible mirrors and detector circuits 5. Listening to Light detector and transmitter circuits
