Astronomers use hands-on demo to explain infrared radiation to the public
Love for astronomy begins in childhood. With that in mind, three UC Riverside astronomers gave a presentation on August 3 to hundreds of children on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi on what infrared radiation is and how telescopes use it. Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that exists between visible light and radio waves...
