Now, go to the Chandra pdf “Decoding Starlight” for directions to make a star

Now, go to the Chandra pdf “Decoding Starlight” for directions to make a star out of code. ________ or, go to the computer lab to “Color the Universe” This activity was created by volunteers David Bau (developer of Pencil Code and a Google employee), August Muench (astronomer for the American Astronomical Society), Kim Arcand (visualization lead for NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory), and Sydney Pickens and Matthew Dawson (both computer science educators with Google CS First. )
