You are receiving that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that radios use.
It is a much lower frequency than visible light and can detect things that glow at much lower temperatures than stars ... such as gas clouds
Many radio telescopes use the 'hydrogen line' at a wavelength of 21 cm. That is one of hydrogen's spectral lines, corresponding to a transition between two high energy levels in the hydrogen atom.
What else can I help you with?
What wavelength does the Lovell Telescope use?
The Lovell Telescope is a radio telescope at Jodrell bank (Cheshire U.K). It can observe wavelengths up to ~5 Ghz.
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
Is a satellite dish a form of radio telescope or antenna?
A radio telescope gathers and focuses radio waves, or electromagnetic waves outside the visual spectrum. A satellite telescope is sent outside the atmosphere to become a satellite of either the earth or sun, unless it is sent outside the solar system like the Voyager spacecraft. Many satellite telescopes carry several types of telescopes in one package to gather as much information as possible, like the Hubble.
What is the 1 mile telescope?
The One-Mile Telescope [See Link] at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory was completed in 1964. It is an array of radio telescopes (2 fixed and 1 moveable, fully steerable ) designed to perform aperture synthesis interferometry. The telescope was used to produce the 5C catalogue of radio sources. Observations with larger incremental spacings were used to observe individual radio sources with unprecedented sensitivity, angular resolution, and image quality.
How do optical radio telescopes operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
What tools do a astronmer use?
telescope,radio telescope
What tools do astronmers use?
telescope,radio telescope
What are the instruments use by astronomers?
tools like radio and telescope and camera.
What instrument do scientists use to study quasars?
Radio Telescope Apex
What telescope doesn't use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
A radio telescope.
In what way is a radio telescope like a reflecting telescope?
They both use a parabolic reflector.
What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?
radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.
Is there a telescope in Cardiff?
There is a 3 metre radio telescope on the roof of Cardiff University. There is also an optical telescope at the site for the use of undergraduates.
What telescope do astromers use to gather radio waves?
radiotelescope
Group of radio telescopes radio telescope array radio astronomy?
Radio Telescope Arrays
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
