Question of the Week

All the Colors of the Sun
The above absorption spectrum belongs to our Sun.  What colors of light seem to be the most brightest?  Look closely, are there some colors missing?  

In 1870, a certain common element was discovered in the spectrum of our Sun that later led to its discovery on the Earth.  Yes, it is the element that makes our voices sound like Christmas Elves if we breathe it in!

  4. All the colors are there but it looks like purple / indigo is missing. Maybe another shade of blue was missing but you can't really tell unless you look closely.

  5. In the Cygnus Nebulae it seems like there are many stars being made, because it is the largest star making factory in the whole Universe. Just hearing that its the largest, it make you think about what other ones look like because that one is so large.

  7. I think that the brightest colors are green and yellow. The colors that are missing are torqouis, indigo, and orange isn't that visible.

  8. The brightest color would be yellow. Out of ROYGBIV, Indigo and Violet would be missing out of the color spectrum.
