We have created award-winning web activities where students perform a version of the experiment in which the famous astronomer Sir Frederick William Herschel discovered infrared light. But we have also created web tutorials about multi-wavelength astronomy and created a multi-wavelength gallery that shows celestial objects observed in different wavelengths and also explains the benefits of each wavelength. One of our new websites additions is the Ritter experiment. This simple classroom activity leads students to perform a version of the experiment in which Johann Wilhelm Ritter first discovered ultraviolet light."
