Elements in the Stars

For this project, I researched 15 different celestial bodies and found out several things about them such as their location in space, chemical make-up, and spectrum analysis. The chemical make-up of stars has to do with chemistry, because it tells us what elements each body is made of. This shows me that chemistry is quite literally relevant everywhere, even thousands of light years away. The spectrum analysis of each body relates back to chemistry, because it shows me what the emission lines of chemical elements look like.


Here are the celestial bodies that I researched:

1. Altair
2. Sirius
3. Vega
4. Fomalhaut
5. Deneb
6. Castor
7. Beta Carinae
8. Alioth
9. Alhena
10. Rigel
11. Achernar
12. Spica
13. Regulus
14. Adara
15. Bellatrix
