NGSS.HS-PS4-5

Spectrascopes collect light and then:

• Combine them into white light
• Combine them into black light
• Separate them into bands of colors
• Seperate them into white light

NGSS.HS-PS4-3

Spectrascopes use bands of color to identify: 

• Mass of star
• The elements in the star
• The weight of the star
• The sounds the star makes

The space instrument that travels beyond our solar system are:

• Space probes
• Satellites
• Observatories
• Telescopes

NGSS.HS-ESS1-4

Unmanned space probes are used to explore outer space because: 

• They are inexpensive
• They are extremely large
• It's too dangerous for humans
• It's too hard to see things far away

What do you call astronomy tools placed in orbit around Earth. They have special instruments and telescopes that collect information from space. This information is sent back to Earth where it is interpreted.

• Satellite
• Space Probe
• Radio telescope
• Spectroscope

What astronomy tool collects visible light, then uses mirrors to focus the light producing larger, righter images of distant objects in space.

• Reflecting telescope
• Refracting telescope
• Radio telescope
• Infrared telescope
