"Spectroscopy is a powerful tool in astronomy -- from it, we can often get information about the temperature, density, composition, and important physical processes of an astronomical object. This information can help us answer the questions:
What is it?
What is it like?
What is it made out of?
How did it get there? What will happen to it?
Does it give us clues as to how WE got here?"
