we may have discovered a new way to view the stars

if you pass light through a prism it splits into a rainbow, the colours will be different for any given star, this could be a new astromamy type we can use by measuring the colors

only the shade of light is needed, we can boost the light but keeping the correct shade.

you can find prisms in the old cameras, and new in some, there just 45degree glass triangles.

maybe diamonds have a use other than getting engaged

Not new, they have been doing this for years......  L:-)

Have they been using sharks with frickin laser beams?

wow , but I have never seen it mainstream on TV or photos & never even heard anyone talk about it, Ive knew about prisms for years just didn't know anyone was using prisms in astronomy like for measuring the spectrum. It would be great for a telescope to split it for you for a new fun way of viewing

blinging blobby.

maybe they could make a scope to auto find its position be measuring the rainbow strengths as each star rainbow would be different.
