Light: Crash Course Astronomy #24

In order to understand how we study the universe, we need to talk a little bit about light. Light is a form of energy. Its wavelength tells us its energy and color. Spectroscopy allows us to analyze those colors and determine an object's temperature, density, spin, motion, and chemical composition.

Spectroscopy is one of the most exciting discoveries in astronomy, and I love the way this video explains it. Great job, Phil!
