Through the NSF-funded My Sky Tonight program, we have created a set of research-based, science-rich astronomy activities that are engaging and developmentally appropriate for pre-K aged children, and trained hundreds of educators at museums, parks, and libraries across the U.S. on how to effectively engage their youngest visitors (ages 3 – 5) in astronomy.

Many astronomical images show galaxies, nebulae and other objects in bright rainbow colors, but these are not the colors we would see if looking at these objects with our eyes, since the light from these objects may not be visible to us. Scientists chose the colors in the image to represent the invisible wavelengths of light. This activity explores the ideas of invisible light and representational color and lets participants create their own representational color map of the temperature of a surface.
