The equipment seen here is used to analyze the spectrum of the light from the sun and stars, a process known as spectroscopy. This can be used to determine the chemical composition of the stars, and identify different types of stars. This is one of the spectrographs at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO), in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The DAO was founded in 1914.Credit:Royal Astronomical Society / Science SourceSize:4843px × 3730px (~51 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:1900s-20th century-astronomy-astrophysics-black-and-white-british columbia-canada-chemical composition-dao-dominion astrophysical-equipment-grating-history-history of science-instrument-light-monochrome-north america-observation-observatory-prism-R102/0232-R102/232-R1020232-spectrograph-spectroscopy-spectrum-star-stellar-technology-telescope-universal-victoriaModel release:Not releasedParent folder:Months of November 2007 through May 2008
