Title: new type of astronomy through a prism
Post by: gameleaper on August 28, 2017, 08:34:41 AM
we may have discovered a new way to view the stars

if you pass light through a prism it splits into a rainbow, the colours will be different for any given star, this could be a new astromamy type we can use by measuring the colors

only the shade of light is needed, we can boost the light but keeping the correct shade.

you can find prisms in the old cameras, and new in some, there just 45degree glass triangles.

maybe diamonds have a use other than getting engaged

Not new, they have been doing this for years......  L:-)

Have they been using sharks with frickin laser beams?

Yep, but it's a secret so don't tell anyone.....

wow , but I have never seen it mainstream on TV or photos & never even heard anyone talk about it, Ive knew about prisms for years just didn't know anyone was using prisms in astronomy like for measuring the spectrum. It would be great for a telescope to split it for you for a new fun way of viewing

blinging blobby.

maybe they could make a scope to auto find its position be measuring the rainbow strengths as each star rainbow would be different.

Have you actually, like, grown up on Earth, gameleaper,  or is this your first time here?   I'm starting to think we've been infiltrated by

I thought if I invent everything for myself, I may find out new things no one knows, like my friends you have photo's of AWww

Just to let you know, cocaine has already been invented. But I suspect you know that.

Maybe save yourself, and us, some time and do some reading before inventing everything yourself.

This is astronomy 101. One of my friends did her thesis on a new diffraction grating (which is another way of dispersing the light instead of a prism).

I've been thinking of this circular device that could be used in pairs with a connecting shaft that we could then mount some sort of carriage on. Might make it easier/faster to move goods and people.

and there is another secret ...when you check the rainbow of those stars (better start with our the sun)
you will find there are black lines missing in the rainbow .... wow what could this be?
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines

and if you bring a salt (which contains metal) in a flame and send the light through a prism you will find lines that are at the same position of those black line that are in the rainbow spectrum of the sun?
   
Gamelaper , we do all this shit not only since 1672   we will do it in space in 2018 reaaaaal big with the JWST :D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope )

...looking at IR spectrums ('the rainbows' in infrared light) of freaking exo-planets atmospheres.
