radio astronomers can collect data only after dark... :) this is not true because all that is needed to be done is for the astronomer to receive to their computers.
now that is an epic answer... Kris forster...aka "dad" you suck. :)
I do not believe that the Hubble is equipped for radio astronomy. Certainly it can "detect" radio waves; it is remote-controlled by radio. But most radio astronomy is done with earth-based dish antennas.
Historically, it was the optical telescope. Modern radio telescopes, and cameras mounted on satellites, have advanced astronomy even further.
Astronomy
When we look at the night sky and see the stars we are only seeing a small part of what is actually being given off by the stars. Stars give off radio waves as well as visible light so radio telescopes are able to detect the radio waves and create maps of the sky based on their locations.
the movie radio is based off a true story it focuses on a mentally challenged teen in 1976.
Lots of things are not true about it. Here's one: Corn can not be popped using a radio telescope.
