In 9th Grade Earth Science, students got to look at starlight through diffraction glasses. We looked at hydrogen, helium, and neon (which was a fan favorite with how bright red it burns).
Looking at starlight helps provide evidence that our Universe is expanding! Coloring in science is one of our favorite ways to learn. Not only do these shades make the wearer look ultra-cool, it also never hurts to try and see the world (and Universe) through a new pair of lenses.
