Radio Astronomy
Radio astronomy is a subfield of astronomy that studies Astronomical object, celestial objects using radio waves. It started in 1933, when Karl Jansky at Bell Telephone Laboratories reported radiation coming from the Milky Way. Subsequent observations have identified a number of different sources of radio emission. These include stars and galaxy, galaxies, as well as entirely new classes of objects, such as Radio galaxy, radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, and Astrophysical maser, masers. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation, regarded as evidence for the Big Bang, Big Bang theory, was made through radio astronomy. Radio astronomy is conducted using large Antenna (radio), radio antennas referred to as ''radio telescopes'', that are either used alone, or with multiple linked telescopes utilizing the techniques of Astronomical interferometer, radio interferometry and aperture synthesis. The use of interferometry allows radio astronomy to achieve high angular resolu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Astronomy
Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and the phenomena that occur in the cosmos. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to explain their origin and their overall evolution. Objects of interest include planets, natural satellite, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxy, galaxies, meteoroids, asteroids, and comets. Relevant phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, astronomy studies everything that originates beyond atmosphere of Earth, Earth's atmosphere. Cosmology is a branch of astronomy that studies the universe as a whole. Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history made methodical observations of the night sky. These include the Egyptian astronomy, Egyptians, Babylonian astronomy, Babylonians, Greek astronomy, Greeks, Indian astronomy, Indians, Chinese astronomy, Chinese, Maya civilization, M ...
