Star Light, Star Bright

 Star light, star bright.
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have the wish
I wish tonight.


Today's show, about stars, is the last afternoon show of the semester. Only about six people attended.

I can walk to the planetarium from my apartment (and I did) in about 15 minutes.

There was a lot to cover in this presentation, which went by in somewhat of a blur for me. One item that struck my curiosity was how colors became associated with temperature, especially the extremely hot ones (that are measured in Kelvin). Turns out it is a complicated subject. Even after a bit of research, I don't think I have the answer. Has to do with stellar classification.
