Explore Exoplanet Atmospheres
Investigate the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system, then make a pitch for what exoplanet spectra you’d like to capture with the James Webb Space Telescope.Capturing Spectra Part 1: Exoplanets & Light Interactions
Investigate. This diagram shows 5 light paths that are associated with different interactions between starlight and the exoplanet. Match the letter of the light paths with the phenomena in the table below.
- Match the letter of the light paths with the type of spectrum.
- Identify the source of the photons in each case.
- Describe the path of the photons, and identify what they are interacting with in each case.
Spectrum Notebook. Write your answers in the Table in your Notebook.
Note: One row of the table in your Spectrum Notebook is pre-filled as an example of what to do.
