The EM spectrum runs from gamma rays (left), via X-rays, ultraviolet, optical, and infrared, to radio waves (right). Some spectral bands (radio, IR, optical) can employ sea-level or mountain-top telescopes. Other bands (notably UV, gamma, X-ray) suffer from absorption of EM radiation by Earth's atmosphere. They use balloons, planes and satellites to take telescopes into the upper atmosphere or outer space. Powerful sources of EM radiation are active galaxies (top left) in the gamma and X-ray bands, star-forming regions in infrared (top center), supernova remnants and the glow of radiation from the Big Bang (top right) in the radio band.Credit:Julian Baum / Science SourceSize:3924px × 4724px (~53 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:astronomy-astronomy detectors-electromagnetic spec. astronom-em spectrum-optical telescope-R110/0218-R110/218-R1100218-verticalFolder Legacy Identifier:spl001_hdModel release:Not releasedParent folder:SPL bulkload #5
