When we look at the night sky and see the stars we are only seeing a small part of what is actually being given off by the stars. Stars give off radio waves as well as visible light so radio telescopes are able to detect the radio waves and create maps of the sky based on their locations.
I do not believe that the Hubble is equipped for radio astronomy. Certainly it can "detect" radio waves; it is remote-controlled by radio. But most radio astronomy is done with earth-based dish antennas.
Historically, it was the optical telescope. Modern radio telescopes, and cameras mounted on satellites, have advanced astronomy even further.
radio astronomers can collect data only after dark... :) this is not true because all that is needed to be done is for the astronomer to receive to their computers. now that is an epic answer... Kris forster...aka "dad" you suck. :)
The One-Mile Telescope [See Link] at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory was completed in 1964. It is an array of radio telescopes (2 fixed and 1 moveable, fully steerable ) designed to perform aperture synthesis interferometry. The telescope was used to produce the 5C catalogue of radio sources. Observations with larger incremental spacings were used to observe individual radio sources with unprecedented sensitivity, angular resolution, and image quality.

Astronomy is the study of heavenly bodies.
