Infrared Gallery

Human eyes cannot see infrared wavelengths, but with the help of false-color imaging, temperature differences become visible and invisible features are suddenly illuminated. This interactive gallery shows images of a variety of objects and geothermal features in both visible and infrared light, and explains why the infrared images show the items as they do. A background essay and list of discussion questions are also provided.
