X-ray and gamma ray telescopes are used to give us "alternate" views of objects in the universe. It is extremely helpful to see all of the different wavelengths of electromagnetic energies give off by objects to better understand what they are and how to classify them for further study.
x-rays can also cause cancer whilst looking through them
also a Lamborghini can see more into the future than xray and gamma ray telescopes

∙ 15y agoAstronomers find solar systems in the process of formation by looking for radiation emitted by disks of dust and gas around stars. The hot gas and dust emit radio waves of specific wavelengths, and astronomers can locate and map the disks with radio telescopes. Watching the disks over a period of weeks or months, astronomers see large clouds of gas evaporate. Many astronomers believe that these features are comets releasing their frozen gases as they near the star.

Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
What are the similarities between light and gamma rays?
Light ray and gamma ray both travel in a straight line.
What are roscoe koontz inventions?
Roscoe Koontz is famous for inventing the pinhole gamma ray camera.
Why can infrared telescopes operate from high flying aircraft and high mountain tops whereas Xray telescopes must be place in orbit?
Current telescopes detect different wavelengths of "light," which, in general, is called electromagnetic radiation. Earth's atmosphere is transparent to infrared radiation - it can easily transmit though our atmosphere. Therefore we can easily detect it from within Earth's atmosphere. However, X-Rays do not easily transmit through the Earth's atmosphere, so we must place our X-Ray detectors OUTSIDE of our atmosphere, ie. in orbit around the earth.

What is used to detect gamma rays?
By X-ray film or some kind of detector that is the digital equivalent.
Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
aplha, beta, gamma
Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
No they do not, or use gamma ray telescopes either. Not ground based.
Why are x-ray telescopes and gamma - ray telescopes in space?
The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.
What are some Types of Space Telescopes?
Gamma, X-ray, Optical, and Radio
Does the intensity of Xrays and gamma rays differ?
Intensity is independent of frequency or wavelength. So whether it is Xray or gamma ray both can have the same intensity.
What has the author Seth Digel written?
There is no known author named Seth Digel as of now.
What are some ways scientist study the universe?
they use radio telescopes, infrared, gamma ray, and etc.
Does the process of photoconduction only occur in the visible light spectrum?
No, it is also observed in case of UV, Xray, Gamma ray.
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.
What has the author Stefan Vasile written?
Stefan Vasile has written: 'Studies of Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) as readout devices for scintillating fibers for high energy gamma-ray astronomy telescopes' -- subject(s): Charged particles, Gamma rays, Space exploration, Low noise, Satellite-borne instruments, Scintillating fibers, Gamma ray telescopes, Avalanche diodes
Is an xray a light wave?
Yes an X-Ray is a light wave. It comes before Gamma Rays! The smallest wave visible.
