Searching for cosmic objects
What type of electromagnetic radiation is emitted by cosmic objects? What types of telescopes are used to ‘see’ these objects?
Referring to your electromagnetic radiation diagram from Task 1 and Task 2, record a short podcast or create a presentation on the following:
-
any pros and cons for each type of telescope
-
the types of cosmic objects best viewed by the different types of telescopes. Include black holes, neutron stars, stars like our sun and cool interstellar gas.
