Agenda Science in the News I SEE THE LIGHT Science Olympiad

Closest Alien Planet Receives a Name

Herschel Space Telescope Ends Mission

Background Active Recently ran out of Liquid Helium to keep equipment cool, ultimately ending its ability to function. Largest inferred telescope ever launched (commissioned by ESA) In a parked position at L 2 Lagrangian point

ALPHA Lab Tests Antimatter Gravity ALPHA- Antihydrogen Laser PHysics Apparatus Run through Cern Testing to see if antimatter acts like regular matter Deduced the possibly of Antigravity (antimatter falling upwards) Testing Antihydrogen escaping a magnetic field in an upward direction

Light Light is the reason we can see things. Light is either EMITTED or ABSORBED by different substances.

Light It is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The Visible Light Spectrum (similar to the Hydrogen emission spectrum) is composed of light of different wavelengths.  Different wavelengths mean different frequencies.

Light Light is behaves both as a particle and a wave!
