What kinds of technology are used to observe stars today?

A wide variety of telescopes that are sensitive to different bands of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays) and subatomic particles (e.g. neutrinos, muons, cosmic rays). Most of these telescopes are on the surface of the earth, but some are on artificial satellites because the earth's atmosphere blocks those bands of electromagnetic radiation, and neutrino telescopes are buried in deep salt mines to shield the detectors from undesired radiation that would cause false detections.


In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the biggest telescopes on Earth operate?

radio


Why can infrared telescopes operate from high flying aircraft and high mountain tops whereas Xray telescopes must be place in orbit?

Current telescopes detect different wavelengths of "light," which, in general, is called electromagnetic radiation. Earth's atmosphere is transparent to infrared radiation - it can easily transmit though our atmosphere. Therefore we can easily detect it from within Earth's atmosphere. However, X-Rays do not easily transmit through the Earth's atmosphere, so we must place our X-Ray detectors OUTSIDE of our atmosphere, ie. in orbit around the earth.


how does the energy from space the sun travel through space to the earth?

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.
