Yes, ground-based observatories can observe in the ultraviolet range using specialized instruments and filters. However, Earth's atmosphere absorbs most ultraviolet light, so these observatories are typically located in high-altitude or remote locations to minimize interference from atmospheric absorption.
What else can I help you with?
What type of astronomy can be done from the ground?
Any kind except X-ray observations.
Why is careful obersavation important to being a scientist?
A scientist may create an hypothesis on the basis of their observations. If their observations are carelessly made or recorded then any hypotheses they offer will be inaccurate reflections of nature. A scientist may alternatively collect observations to test an hypothesis. If these observations are carelessly made or recorded then the conclusions that the scientist makes about the hypothesis could very well be incorrect. At the very least the conclusions they draw would not be based on sound evidence (because the observations are unsound).
How earths atmosphere limits astronomical observations?
Earth's atmosphere limits astronomical observations by blocking and distorting light from celestial objects. Atmospheric turbulence causes stars to twinkle and blurs images, making it difficult to resolve fine details. Additionally, factors like clouds, humidity, and light pollution further hinder visibility, while gases in the atmosphere absorb certain wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet and infrared, preventing astronomers from detecting them from the ground. Consequently, many observations are conducted from space or at high altitudes to minimize these atmospheric effects.
When was Observations in Time created?
Observations in Time was created in 1969.
How do you use the words ultraviolet rays in a sentence?
Too much exposure to the ultraviolet rays from the Sun can prove to be fatal.
Due to your ozone layers ultraviolet astronomy is best done above the atmosphere?
Yes, the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere absorbs much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which can interfere with observations in ultraviolet astronomy. Conducting observations from above the atmosphere, such as with space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope, allows for clearer and more detailed observations in this wavelength range.

What has the author Leonard Francis Yntema written?
Leonard Francis Yntema has written: 'Observations on the rare earths' -- subject(s): Accessible book, Ultraviolet spectra, Yttrium
Why are near infrared telescopes located on mountaintops and ultraviolet telescopes in Earth orbit?
Mountaintops are ideal for near-infrared telescopes because the high altitude reduces atmospheric interference and light pollution. Ultraviolet telescopes are placed in Earth orbit to avoid absorption of ultraviolet light by Earth's atmosphere, which allows for clearer observations of objects emitting in the ultraviolet spectrum.
Can you make an inference without having made any observations?
no because how can you explain an observation without making one
Why do you not have groundbased gamma ray and x-ray telescopes?
Because radiation at those wavelengths is absorbed in the atmosphere, and very little of it ever reaches the ground. Operated on the ground, those telescopes would see almost nothing.
Why should a scientist compare observations?
Any single observation may or may not be accurate. If you compare observations you can reduce the chance of observational error.
What is a type of ultraviolet ray abbr.?
UVA (ultraviolet A), UVB (ultraviolet B), UVC (ultraviolet C) are types of ultraviolet rays.
What is looking at a result of a behavior or occurrence called scientific law scientific theory indirect observations or direct observations?
Direct observations. This involves directly watching or recording the behavior or occurrence without any inference or interpretation.
What does an ultraviolet telescope collect?
Ultraviolet light. That's why it's called so.
Can a butterfly see ultraviolet?
the answer is yes.Butterflies have average eyesight. They do have one advantage over most other insects in that they can see colour. Their colour vision, however, is shifted towards the ultraviolet end of the spectrum.^this means that butterflies can see ultraviolet light
Can scorpions see in ultraviolet light?
No. They can not see in ultraviolet light. They are known to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, though.
