☆ Polarys
The star spectrum is what we call the wavelengths of light that stars produce. We record these spectra to reveal things such as temperature, density, and even the chemical composition of the star. The black lines in a star’s spectrum can tell us about its magnetic field and how fast it moves. And all of this is learned purely from the light stars emit. Everyone—just like stars—emits light that makes them unique. Everyone has a unique spectrum, which tells others what you are made of and who you are. When ☆ Polarys performs, they want to pull that colorful, bright light out of their audience. ☆ Polarys wants to show them the beauty of their own spectrum of colors.
