Educator Conference - November 4-5, 2006
Stars and the Infrared Sky - Stellar Evolution and Our New View of the Cosmos
By using infrared light, the Spitzer Space Telescope has been looking into and through the gas and dust in the universe and, along with other ground and space-based observatories like the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (http://www.galex.caltech.edu/), showing how material moves from cloud to star and back again in our and other galaxies. Stellar evolution is the theme that ties what we see together.
