Recommended for audiences ages 12+, this show explores the Hubble Space Telescope’s Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (C.O.S.), the nature of light, and the science of spectroscopy. Viewers will learn how quasars serve as background light sources, how different materials can be identified by their spectral signatures, and how matter cycles through the Milky Way and nearby galaxies.
