Knapp Coming Disasters 17 The progress made within the last few years in spectroscopy. 1955Sci. Amer. Sept. 144/2 The faintness of the aurora and the rapidity with which it changes make spectroscopy difficult, but development of the technique..has produced beautiful spectrograms of auroras extending..into the near ultraviolet and the near infrared. 1966McGraw-Hill Encycl.
