Astronomers learn about gases in space by looking at light. Different gases produce different spectra of light - also known as rainbows! Join us in a spectroscopy experiment from our very own Physics and Astronomy lab.

Our Physics Undergraduate students will lead you in this science experiment where you will use pair of rainbow glasses to figure out which gases are in the gas tubes. If you get all three right you get a science sticker!
