We are happy to hear you enjoyed learning about their purpose and how they help those brave firefighters do their jobs! Thanks for visiting and sharing your comments today!
We LOVE that you enjoyed today's Wonder-- there is so much to uncover in the dark using night vision goggles! We hope you continue to Wonder on your own this weekend-- we will see you soon! We are so excited to hear you enjoyed exploring the dark with our night vision goggle Wonder, Zoey and Aniela! We can't wait to Wonder with you as we have fun with art tomorrow!
Thanks for visiting today-- you two ROCK! We think the students in Mrs. Valdez's 5th Grade class would find some amazing animals in their natural habitats!! Thanks for WONDERing with us and sharing your guess for tomorrow-- we can't wait to find out what kind of artistic things we will be learning about!! Foster's class! We would love to hear what you are able to find! Have a great day, Wonder Friends! Isn't it amazing how the night vision goggles assisted the firefighters?
It makes us Wonder about other useful technology that helps professionals succeed in their lines of work! Currently, night vision goggles allow users to see better in the dark, but depth perception and scope of vision aren't great with the goggles. However, we Wonder if the awesome students in Mrs. Great question, Emily! WOW, what a great list of ideas for using night vision goggles!
The students in Ms. Bayko's class are really succeeding in using their imaginations! Thanks for posting your awesome guesses for tomorrow's Wonder-- we can't wait to get crafty with you!
Hi there, Christine! We think there are many uses for this nifty device and one of the best ways to learn about them was through the eyes of a firefighter in training! Thanks for your comment-- we are so appreciative that you've shared it with all our Wonder Friends today!

Wonder What's Next? Try It Out Recruit a few friends or family members to help you explore one or more of the following activities: Can you see in the dark? Of course not! Even in the darkest places, there is often tiny bits of light.
Turn off all the lights in your house and just sit in the dark for a while, letting your eyes adjust to the blackness. As the minutes pass by, you'll probably realize that it doesn't seem quite so dark any more. What was once pitch black now seems different. You should begin to see the outlines of familiar objects.
If you wait long enough and allow your eyes to adjust fully, you'll probably be surprised by how good your eyes are at using the tiny bits of available light to help you see in the dark! Up for a challenge? If you want to investigate the spectrum of visible light, you need a spectrometer. These can be quite expensive, but did you know that you can build a simple spectrometer with an old compact disc and a few simple materials? It's true. Jump online and check out the instructions to build your own homemade spectrometer.
Then get going! Have fun and enjoy checking out the spectrum of visible light! Ready for some fun in the dark? You might not have night vision goggles, but there are still plenty of fun things you can do with friends and family members. All you need to enjoy these activities are a flashlight and a sense of adventure!

StampyLongNose Feb 27, I learned a lot about night vision goggles! Thanks wonderopolis!! Feb 27, You're very welcome!
Griffin Feb 24, Nice article! I love Wonderopolis it is a fun learning website! Feb 17, Thanks for the kind words! Rowan Feb 10, Feb 12, Jan 26, Ilhan Jan 22, Emma Jan 28, Are you so sure? Do you have a pair? Jan 17, Yedry Jan 24, Kanden Jan 15, Why does the picture look like a picture from the game ww2. Jan 15, We're not sure, Kanden. Annoymas Jan 13, They have this kind of stuff on Ghost Adventures! Ace Aug 29, Aug 30, Cool, I never knew half the information they mentioned.
Zane Jul 23, Wonder Friend Feb 26, Aug 2, Thanks for sharing your experience, nahdood. Mar 1, Michael Jan 30, Hi, if night vision goggles use thermal imaging, what's the difference between that and a thermographic screen? Do they just apply different color outputs but the input source is the same? Jan 30, Thanks for sharing the Wonder love, Zane! Dec 5, Kalman Tihanyi Oct 27, Hi, That's really a great post! NV technology's have different uses. Both image enhancement and thermal imaging technology are awesome!
Just love them. Thanks a lot. Apr 5, Moiz Oct 30, Thanks a lot! Nov 1, Charlie Fisher Dec 17, It really amazing product This goggles can be used for night hunting, security force and all.
I too have a blog for this. You can check the entire details about googles. Dec 19, Thanks for sharing more information, Charlie!
We're glad you visited Wonderopolis! Nara Nov 14, Landon Childers Nov 16, You can ask other people about this site. Sorry, that question wasn't worded right. For example, if there were false information and it was changed. When did this last happen for this article? Nov 15, Nov 6, Roxy Oct 20, Oct 20, It's great that you liked this Wonder, Roxy! Scientists are continually working to make safer, more accurate mine detection systems. As telescopes have evolved from crude spyglass models to sophisticated satellites that orbit the Earth, our understanding of the universe has grown in leaps and bounds.
This is because we have been able to see farther into the visible universe, and because advances in technology have enabled us to see the universe in different kinds of light. The two pictures below show the same object, a cloud of gas and dust in space called a nebula. The picture on the left shows the nebula in visible light, and the picture on the right shows the nebula in near infrared light with color added to show the contrasts. Nicmos the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer peels away layers of dust to show the inner region of a dusty nebula.
The picture taken in visible light left contains a lot of information about the nebula, but in the upper right corner of the infrared picture right you will see a number of stars that do not appear in the visible picture. This is because there is a lot of gas and dust between the stars and the camera. Visible light coming from the stars is obscured by the dust and gas, but infrared light coming from the stars passes right though it.
Infrared images often show more details about the structure of objects in space because it lets us see through surrounding gas and dust. In addition to learning more about objects we already know, looking at the sky in infrared light shows us things that are otherwise invisible. For example, brown dwarfs are objects that are sort of in the middle between regular stars and giant gas planets like Jupiter.
This image shows two young brown dwarfs, objects that fall somewhere between planets and stars in terms of their temperature and mass. For more details on these and other uses of infrared light, check out the links in the next section.
Ryerson University Infrared imaging makes landmine detection more safe, faster. The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer will map the whole sky in infrared.
From turning on a lamp in your home to running solar panels, batteries play a large role in our everyday lives. The black hole selected for imaging resides in the center of the Messier 87 galaxy, 55 million light years away quintillion miles away.
High energy particle physics experiments in recent past have brought into question parts of the model currently used in particle physics. The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display. The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission.
The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image. Unlike traditional most night-vision equipment which uses image-enhancement technology, thermal imaging is great for detecting people or working in near-absolute darkness with little or no ambient lighting i. All objects, both natural and manmade, emit infrared energy as heat.
By detecting very subtle temperature differences of everything in view, infrared or thermal imaging technology reveals what otherwise would be invisible to the naked eye.
