This Nasa website helped me understand the basics of spectroscopy. It is the study of the electromagnetic spectrum, the elements galaxies and other space formations are made of, and much more. The basic tool in spectroscopy if the spectrometer that measure emission lines.

Astronomy - spectroscopy - 3/3
Spectroscopy is the study of energy and matter, the dispersion of light, and measurement of wavelength. This video contains useful information that helped me understand spectroscopy.
Ideas
I think we could combine both Abby's and Kay's ideas into one: learning how chemical reactions in space and chemical reactions on Earth are the same/different.
I personally want to learn about what happens when two galaxies collide.

A Star's Life Cycle
I think this could really help us relate Michael Jackson's life to the life cycle of a star. The video is basicaly about the life cycle of stars but goes into a lot of detail about certain stages. It is very ineresting how dense the supernova gets. One thing we could put into our video in the protostar section is that Michael's brothers and sisters were particles of dust and gas building Michael into the star he became. -abby
Peony Nebula
This is a video that displays a picture of the Peony Nebula, discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The star is located in a very densely packed area made up of dust and other stars. It is the second brightest star in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Hubble Telescope Picture
This photo was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on January 15, 1996. At the time the shot was taken, the telescope was aimed at a point in the sky that a human's eye would perceive as total darkness. This allowed scientists to understand that even what we see as darkness, it is actually filled with the light of thousands and thousands of galaxies and stars.
