That's a spectroscope, usually coupled to the business end of a telescope. The telescope

is responsible for producing enough light from the star for the spectroscope to work with.

Why does sunlight show up as a rainbow of colors in your spectroscope?

Sunlight appears as a rainbow of colors in a spectroscope because it is made up of a spectrum of different wavelengths of light. When sunlight passes through a prism or a diffraction grating in the spectroscope, it is separated into its component colors, ranging from red to violet. This phenomenon occurs due to the varying degrees of refraction or bending of each wavelength, allowing us to see the full spectrum of visible light. This separation reveals the diverse colors that make up white light.
