Radio Telescope observe light of a different wavelength then optical light. Radio waves have a longer wavelength then visible light. Some interstellar objects barley emit any light in the visible spectrum but emit a significant amount of radiation in the radio spectrum. Radio telescopes enable us to view objects which emit in the radio spectrum.

The bright sunlight reflected from the Moon will wash out the sky and make it more difficult to observe dim objects. If you have a good telescope, then it's not too bad, as long as you're not trying to observe things that appear to be close to the Moon.


Why do objects tend to look black and white in dim light?
