Observed universe in the infrared spectrum. Useful for studying objects obscured by gas and dust, regions of star formation, and the galactic center.

Specifically designed for monitoring the Sun. It often has special filters to protect the observer’s eyes from harmful solar radiation.

Detects radio emissions from the sky, typically has a dish-like appearance. Used to study celestial phenomena like pulsars and remote galaxies.

Employs a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light to form an image. Generally used for all kinds of astronomical observations.

Combines lenses and mirrors to form the image, featuring the benefits of both designs. They are widely used for both professional and amateur astronomy.

Captures images in the x-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ideal for studying phenomena such as black holes and neutron stars.

Located outside of Earth’s atmosphere to avoid atmospheric distortions. Used to capture the clearest images of the universe across various wavelengths.

Designed to detect and collect data on gamma rays from extraterrestrial sources. Some can also help scientists search for dark matter.

Specializes in detecting submillimeter wavelengths of light, between infrared light and radio waves. Used to study molecular clouds and distant galaxies in early stages of formation.
