Why are near infrared telescopes located on mountaintops and ultraviolet telescopes in Earth orbit?

The primary infrared blocker, water vapor, is mostly in the lower atmosphere and the primary ultraviolet blocker, ozone, is located high in the atmosphere, far above mountaintops.


Different tools used in astronomy?

Telescopes come to mind. There are many types of them ranging from one end of thee-m spectrum to the other. There are ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave radio wave and gamma ray telescopes to name a few. With these telescopes other devices are used. CCD's and sometimes photographic film cameras to record images, computers to control the cameras and telescopes. Also used in conjunction with the recording devices are filters, both optical and electrical, and notch and bandpass.


How do ultraviolet telescopes work?

X-ray telescopes collect the X-rays that are emitted from the sun, stars, and super novas in space using a series of curved lenses and an electronic eye.


What telescope does not use visual light energy?

Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.


What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?

There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).

What do ultraviolet telescopes see?

Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.


What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?

Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes


What are light telescopes?

Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.


How are telescopes used?

Telescopes are made to view distant objects that cannot be seen clearly with the human eye. Many telescopes only collect light that is visible to the human eye, but others can collect different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation including x-rays, ultraviolet, and infrared.


Which layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?

The photosphere can be seen with visible-light telescopes, while the chromosphere is most easily observed with ultraviolet telescopes and the corona with X-ray telescopes.

What Layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?

DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH A CONVENTIONAL TELESCOPE.  Doing so can cause massive eye damage and blindness.  Theoretically only the photosphere would be visible anyway.Scientists can use special telescopes (such as ultraviolet telescopes) to see other parts of the sun (such as the corona).
