How Do We Observe Different Parts of the Spectrum?
Different telescopes and instruments are designed to observe various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio telescopes capture radio waves, infrared telescopes detect infrared radiation, and X-ray telescopes observe X-rays. Space-based observatories, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, are essential for detecting ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray radiation, which are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.
