Telescopic images taken in the infrared and x-ray parts of the spectrum have been a great help in this area, to name just two. As an example: The center of our Milky Way galaxy lies in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, but we cannot see it in normal light because of gasses and dust between our part of the galaxy and the center. But with infrared Photography, the center of the galaxy is seen easily as an egg yolk-shaped "glow".

What problems do astronomers have when looking through telescopes?

Astronomers may face challenges such as light pollution from surrounding urban areas, atmospheric turbulence which can distort images, and limited observation time due to weather conditions and the Earth's rotation. Additionally, technical issues with the telescope or instrumentation can also hinder observations.

What types of pollution do nuclear power plant produce?

In theory a nuke power plant produces no pollution. It is 100% clean energy. Though pollution from the waste is a big problem and is sometimes dumped in the environment causing pollution such as radiation and poisonous chemicals.


Name one major problem caused by using fossil fuels?

One major problem caused by using fossil fuels is air pollution, which leads to poor air quality, respiratory illnesses, and contributes to climate change through the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.

How does rocket launching cause pollution and How can this pollution become an international problem?

Rocket launching causes pollution through the release of carbon dioxide, black carbon, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These pollutants can contribute to global warming and climate change. If a significant number of rockets are launched globally, the cumulative effect of this pollution can become an international problem by impacting air quality, exacerbating climate change, and potentially leading to diplomatic tensions due to the shared responsibility for addressing the environmental impact.


What keeps astronomers from directly detecting a black hole?

Astronomers cannot directly detect black holes because they do not emit light or any electromagnetic radiation. Instead, black holes are identified through their gravitational effects on nearby objects, such as stars and gas clouds, which exhibit unusual motion or emit X-rays when matter is accreted. Additionally, the event horizon of a black hole marks a boundary beyond which no information can escape, making direct observation impossible. Thus, astronomers rely on indirect evidence and the study of surrounding phenomena to infer the presence of black holes.
