... When you observe stars with your eyes, or with a telescope, you are receiving starlight that has traveled vast distances. Amazingly, the light remains virtually unaffected by the first 99.999999999999% or so of its journey. However, in the trip through the Earth’s atmosphere, and even through the op ...

... When light from a star is passed through a spectroscope, astronomers see dark absorption lines that are produced as light passes through the star’s cooler, less dense atmosphere. Each element contributes its own set of absorption lines to this absorption spectrum, such as those shown in Figure 5. Wh ...
