Virus safety - good
Description: Prominent lines in the spectrum of the sun are shown, together with their corresponding wavelengths.
As you can see, it's all very pretty. Wollaton (1802) discovered dark lines in the solar spectrum. Fraunhofer (1817) rediscovered them, and noted some were not present in stars - but other stars had more. Brewster (1836) noted that the lines altered with the elevation of the sun. I wonder what that can be about?
