Heat in the Dark
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 1
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Warm things give off infrared light that our eyes cannot see. A special camera turns that warmth into bright shapes, so people and cars can be seen at night.
In the picture
- A person’s chest: a warm body glowing bright white.
- A car’s front hood: engine heat glowing bright white.
- A patch of ground: a cooler area that shows as dim grey.
Examples
- Firefighters use a heat camera to find someone through smoke.
- Wildlife watchers use a heat camera to spot animals at night.
Key takeaways
- Warm objects send out infrared radiation.
- A heat camera makes infrared radiation into a picture.
