'Astronomical spectrum' is not a specific term. I suspect you are thinking of the emission spectrum of a star, which can tell us a great deal about the composition of the star. Light and other radiations from the object are spread out into constituent wavelengths and dark lines appear across the spectrum at certain specific wavelengths which are characteristic of elements present.
