Day 8

After eating breakfast at the campsite and packing up, on Sunday we learned how to spectrally classify stars. This knowledge was used to later classify the stellar spectra they obtained at our big telescope on Jelm Mt. the night before. Such classification tells us about the temperature, mass, and radius of the stars. The night time activity was to design a spaceship that included all the necessary features for interstellar travel.
