X-ray telescopes collect the X-rays that are emitted from the sun, stars, and super novas in space using a series of curved lenses and an electronic eye.

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.


What are ultraviolet telescopes used for?

Ultraviolet telescopes are used to observe celestial objects emitting ultraviolet radiation, which is not visible to the human eye. They provide valuable information about the composition, temperature, and dynamics of stars, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena that emit UV light. This can help astronomers study the formation of stars, the evolution of galaxies, and the presence of elements in the universe.


What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?

There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).


What are the telescopes that work on earth's surface?

X-ray telescopes are used to study mainly the Sun, stars and supernovas. X-ray telescopes work better at very high altitudes on the Earth's surface.


What instrument to astronomers use?

They use telescopes, but different types of telescopes. There are telescopes for radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays, all depending on what it is you're trying to see.

What are light telescopes?

Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.


What do ultraviolet telescopes see?

Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.


What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?

Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes

What telescope doesn't use visual light?

Scientists have developed a number of radio, infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray telescopes.


Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?

they did it to get more detailed pictures of space


How are telescopes used?

Telescopes are made to view distant objects that cannot be seen clearly with the human eye. Many telescopes only collect light that is visible to the human eye, but others can collect different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation including x-rays, ultraviolet, and infrared.


What Layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?

The photosphere, chromosphere, and corona of the Sun are typically visible with specific types of telescopes. The photosphere is the lowest layer and what we usually see with the naked eye, while the chromosphere and corona can be observed during a solar eclipse or with specialized solar telescopes that filter out the intense brightness of the photosphere.
