This book describes the instruments themselves and what they were designed to discover about the Solar System and distant stars. Exactly how these telescopes were built and launched and the data they provided is explored. Only certain kinds of radiation can penetrate our planet's atmosphere, which limits what we can observe. But with space telescopes all this changed. We now have the means to "see" beyond Earth using ultraviolet, microwave, and infrared rays, X-rays and gamma rays. In this book we meet the pioneers and the telescopes that were built around their ideas. This book looks at space telescopes not simply chronologically but also in order of the electromagnetic spectrum, making it possible to understand better why they were made. 000777930 650_0 $$aSpace telescopes. 000777930 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEnglish, Neil.$$tSpace telescopes.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, 2016, ©2017$$z9783319278124$$z3319278126$$w(OCoLC)930257853 000777930 830_0 $$aAstronomers' universe. 000777930 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000777930 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-27814-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000777930 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:777930$$pGLOBAL_SET 000777930 980__ $$aEBOOK 000777930 980__ $$aBIB 000777930 982__ $$aEbook 000777930 983__ $$aOnline 000777930 994__ $$a92$$bISE
