Transcript

Welcome

You must be the new astronomer. Good to have you with us!

You will be working with four different telescopes, each viewing different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. You need to help other astronomers with their research, including finding hidden or exploding stars.

Select a telescope

Select one of the images above to learn about the different telescopes you'll be using, or select the arrow to carry out the research.

Name: Radio telescope

Part of spectrum viewed: Radio (wavelengths a lot longer than visible light)

Location: On the ground, as most radio waves get through the atmosphere.
Sources of radiation:

Many radio waves in space come from cold clouds of hydrogen gas.

Most stars do not give off many radio waves.

Name: Infrared telescope

Part of spectrum viewed: Infrared (wavelengths longer than visible light)

Location: In orbit, as most infrared is blocked by the atmosphere
Sources of radiation:

Stars give off infrared as well as visible light.

Cool stars give off more infrared than visible light.

Dust that has been heated gives off infrared.

Infrared can pass through dust clouds.

Name: Optical telescope

Part of spectrum viewed: Visible light

Location: On the ground, as visible light gets through the atmosphere
Sources of radiation:

Hot stars give off visible light.

Light can be reflected from dust clouds.

Dust clouds can block visible light

Name: Ultraviolet telescope

Part of spectrum viewed: Ultraviolet (wavelengths shorter than visible light)

Location: In orbit, as most UV is blocked by the atmosphere.
Sources of radiation:

The hottest stars (very young or very old) give off the most UV.

Instructions

Drag and drop the star icon to the left of the task onto the appropriate telescope. To learn more about the telescopes, select the image to read their specifications.
