... 2015 December 24 . Star Colors and Pinyon Pine . ... Explanation: Beautiful, luminous decorations on this pinyon pine tree are actually bright stars in the constellation Scorpius and the faint glow of the central Milky Way. Captured in June from the north rim of the Grand Canyon of planet Earth, the shallow, close focus image has rendered pine needles on the tree branch sharp, but blurred the distant stars, their light smeared into remarkably colorful disks. ...

... As an experiment, I made some three-color images of Messier 42, more commonly known as the Great Nebula of Orion. ... green enhanced . ... halfsize or fullsize . ... Each image is a ``true color'' composite of three monochromatic images, in which the red, green, and blue intensities each correspond to the intensity of one of the original images. ... The HST image is assembled from different filters than mine: red is Nitrogen [II] at 6583 , green is H-alpha at 6563 , and blue is O [III] at 5007 . ...

... Colors of Sunlight . ... Isaac Newton showed that not only can a triangular prism separate a beam of sunlight into rainbow colors (that had already been known), but also that, when a second prism brings the different colors together again, white light is once more obtained. Therefore white light is a combination of all the rainbow colors, and the prism separates its colors because the angle by which a beam of light is bent, when it enters glass, differs from one color to the next. ...

Classroom Activity: A Viewgraph Comet . ... This will simulate the Earth's orbit around the Sun. ... Draw several comets along the path with their tails pointing away from the Sun. ... You can create other viewgraphs that have a smaller scale and show several comet orbits or constellations. ... Show how the Earth's orbit is almost circular compared to the comet's. Explain that the Sun is at the focus of the orbits of the planets, asteroids, and comets. ... Actually, comets have two tails. ...

A full explanation of the motion of trapped particles would be too abstract and mathematical for this level, but some basic ideas may be described on an intuitive level. The magnetic force on a moving particle is always perpendicular to the motion, as well as to the magnetic field lines. That is why the basic pattern is motion in a circle, around a magnetic field line. ... The best-known periodic motion is the back-and-forth swing of a pendulum, say of a weight suspended by a string (drawing). ...
