An Overview of Stellar Spectroscopy
Despite the enormous distances and time it takes for light to travel to the earth from the stars and other celestial objects, light carries a plethora of information concerning the objects they originate from. In this talk, the history and application of the techniques of Spectroscopy employed to decipher this information will be discussed, as will recent discoveries which appear to undermine our understanding of the universe.
