"Hey I hear that BlueSky has video now! So here is one of my favorite videos I've worked on at STScI.

"Text: Astronomers Read the Rainbow of Light. To learn about: Temperature. 
Illustrations of three stars, yellow, blue, and red, rotating in the vast universe.
Text: How hot are these stars? 
Text: Light Spectrum. A rainbow-colored bar, a spectrum, appears on screen. Several dark lines are superimposed on the rainbow. Text: Blue star. White lines point to the black bars.

Text: Red star. A new spectrum appears on screen, with a different series of black lines. While lines point to the black bars.

Text: Yellow star. A new spectrum appears on screen, with a different series of black lines. While lines point to the black bars.

The pattern of a star's spectrum indicates its precise temperature. Large blue star, 18,000 degrees Celsius. Medium yellow star, 6,000 degrees. Small red star, 3,000 degrees. Text, Astronomers read light's rainbow to discover each star's story. Absorption lines on six spectra vary by temperature."
