The Spitzer Space Telescope, launched in 2003, was equipped
to observe in the infrared, at wavelengths of 3 to 180 micrometers
(3,000 to 180,000 nanometers).
The liquid helium that it carried, to cool its cryogenic detectors, was
exhausted sometime in 2009, so the band of wavelengths is probably
less now.
no because it cant detect anything
Visible light - Hence why it has recorded many magnificent photographs of the wonders of space.
Hubble can detect electromagnetic radiation in the optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared spectral bands.Â
depends on the telescope
microwaves
VIsual light
x-ray
One example is the visible spectrum : all the colors that you can see.
I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
This is part of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum, visible light occupies a small part of this spectrum, but all wavelengths have the same physical properties

I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
A telescope helps you to see objects in the distance better. The electromagnetic spectrum is a collection of all waves. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum albeit a very small part. X-rays, gamma rays, infra-red, ultra-violet, etc. are all members.
Telescopes can be made to see in almost any part of the electromagnetic spectrum: visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, or radio waves. The largest telescopes are those for radio waves - in Arecibo there is one with a diameter of 300 meters. I am not sure whether it is the largest, though.
Camuy Puerto Rico on the southwestern part of the Island, minutes from the Arecibo radio telescope known as the Arecibo observatory controlled and ran by Cornell University. This section of the island is rich in limestone formations with many sink holes and caves. The Camuy caves are famous for their beauty and the presence of the Camuy River flowing through the cave.
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.

That's the spectral band that scientists have dubbed "visible light".

Visible light is a very narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Even audible sound, at the very bottom, is part of this EM spectrum. Radio and other types of 'scopes are designed to 'see' these other ranges, often with surprising results. The space telescope employs more than visible light capabilities, as do many Earth and space-bound telescopes. Looking at Saturn in visible light is quite breath-taking, but in ultra-violet (UV) a remarkable geometric pattern is visible on one of its poles.
