- 9. A common type of electromagnetic radiation used for communication.
- 13. These telescopes are responsible for detecting different types of radiation.
- 15. Around 1609, Galileo built his own telescope and used it to study this.
- 18. The entire wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation.
- 20. Data from satellites that is made public to everyone is called this.

- 1. This type of telescope detects heat from stars being born.
- 2. A form of wave energy that has both electrical and magnetic properties.
- 3. The grouped bits of information a telescope records and timestamps.
- 4. This uses a series of lenses to magnify objects.
- 6. Small, dense stars.
- 7. This acronym stands for Flexible Image Transport Standard.
- 10. Another name for the objective lens, this is the opening which light passes through.
- 11. This telescope was built in the 1970s and launched into space to take pictures and record data from multiple wavelengths.
- 12. This uses a series of mirrors to magnify objects.
- 14. Exploding stars.
- 16. The second lens of a telescope is called this and it magnifies the image produced by the objective lens.
- 17. These were discovered accidentally in the 1960's. They have short wavelengths.
- 19. When colors and objects appear distorted around the edges of the images.
