X-ray

There are four: Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Because X-Rays do not penetrate the earth's surface. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory would be completely useless on the ground because it detects X-Rays. Therefore, it must be in space to detect the rays.

Unmanded mission:)

I would have to say the Moon, but there are many famous satellites that orbit Earth (Hubble, the International Space Station, Chandra X-ray Observatory, etc.)

The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched in 1999 and was originally expected to have a lifespan of 5 years. However, it has exceeded this expectation and continues to operate as of now. There are ongoing efforts to prolong its operational life for as long as possible.

they use gamma rays... i think. top that peeps!

The space shuttle that launched on July 22, 1999 was the Space Shuttle Columbia on mission STS-93. This mission was notable for deploying the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which is a space telescope designed to observe X-ray emissions from high-energy regions of the universe.

The purpose of the Chandra X-ray Observatory is to detect and study X-ray emissions from high-energy regions in the universe, such as black holes, supernovas, and galaxy clusters. It helps scientists better understand these extreme phenomena and how they influence the universe.

The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory was launched in 1991 and its cost was approximately $617 million.

The Hubble space telescope uses optical sensors to gather data of distant objects; as it is located outside of the Earths atmosphere it is not subject to the distortions associated with terrestrial telescopes.

The Chandra (X-ray observatory) gathers x-ray data about the universe; again, this cannot be achieved with terrestrial based observatory instruments

The average cost of an X-ray telescope can vary greatly depending on its size, complexity, and mission objectives. However, they typically range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. For example, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, launched in 1999, cost approximately $1.65 billion.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory operates in space because Earth's atmosphere absorbs X-rays, preventing them from reaching ground-based telescopes. By locating the observatory in space, it can capture X-rays from distant celestial objects without interference, providing clearer and more detailed images of the universe. Additionally, operating in space allows Chandra to observe continuously without the interruptions caused by Earth's day-night cycle.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is located in space, in Earth's orbit. It was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1999 and has been observing the universe in high-energy X-rays ever since.

First you must appreciate that x-rays are a form of light (electromagnetic radiation), they are given off by very hot bodies or highly energetic events.

Our sun and other stars emit x-rays as do other astronomical objects and in just the same way that we use optical telescopes to focus light from the stars to make images, to understand these x-ray sources we need to focus their x-ray light too.

The trouble is that x-rays tend to pass through mirrors and glass lenses rather than being reflected or bent by them. Thus to focus x-rays you need to make a special sort of lens.

To do this one uses the property that it is possible to deflect an x-ray off a surface at a very shallow angle (rather like the refection of the far shore on the surface of a smooth lake)

Thus x-ray lenses are made of concentric metal tubes nested one inside the other and these bring the incoming x-rays to a focus behind the lens where it can be imaged by a chip sensitive to x-rays. It is also possible to make imaging x-ray detectors by mimicking the structure of lobster eyes.

Once we have a picture of the structure of the objects emitting x-rays, we can begin to try and understand how the high energy objects fit into our model of the universe.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory primarily focuses on X-ray wavelengths ranging from 0.1 to 10 nanometers to observe high-energy phenomena in outer space.

No - In fact, the Chandra X-ray Observatory detected a jet of X-rays from a supermassive black hole 12.4 billion light years from Earth.

Chandra X-Ray Observatory Cost: Development ~ $1.65 billion Launch Costs ~ $350 million Operations and Data Analysis (years 1-5) ~ $0.75 billion Operations and Data Analysis (years 6-10) ~ $245 million

NASA named its X-ray telescope after Indian astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, in recognition of his groundbreaking work on the evolution and structure of stars. The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched in 1999 and continues to provide valuable insights into the high-energy universe.

1. Hubble Space Telescope - it has been operational since 1990 and has provided numerous groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy.
2. Chandra X-ray Observatory - it has been studying the universe in X-ray wavelengths since 1999, helping to uncover high-energy phenomena.
3. Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope - launched in 2008, it observes the universe in gamma-ray wavelengths, enabling the study of extreme astrophysical processes.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated the famous "Chandrasekhar Limit" and did a lot of other seminal work in astrophysics. The Chandra X-ray space observatory was named in his honor.

The Observatory Hotel is located at 89-113 Kent Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. The Hotel Observatory is reachable from Sydney International Airport or Kingsford Smith Airport.

Chandra X-ray Observatory detects X-rays, which are a type of electromagnetic wave with higher energy and shorter wavelength than visible light. X-rays are emitted by extremely hot and high-energy objects in the universe, such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.

Tagalog translation of X-RAY: X-RAY

An x-ray because X is pronounced as eks , that is, it starts with a vowel.

The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) is a artificial satellite that NASA launched into Earth orbit aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in 1991. The CGRO can be compared to the Hubble Space Telescope and other such space observatories such as the Chandra X-ray observatory. Therefor, no the observatory is not manned but rather controlled by ground personnel. After loosing one of its gyroscopes (used to maintain altitude and orientation) NASA decided that it would be in the best interest for the inhabitants of planet Earth (for safety reasons) to de-orbit the CGRO. On the 4th of June 2000, the CGRO burned up over the Pacific Ocean in a controlled reentry procedure.

The space shuttle Atlantis launched the Magellan and Galileo planetary probes, as well as the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.

the first x ray was called an x ray.

x ray have dangerous ray so its best to stay away from x ray

A plain X-ray is called KUB (kidney-ureter-bladder) x-ray. "Urography" is not plain x-ray.

x-ray fish are called x-ray fish because you can see through them

continuous x-ray and characteristic x-ray

Ghostland Observatory was the by far the best concert for x games.

The X-ray tube is the part of the X-ray machine that emits the X-rays (very high energy photons).

X-ray is a verb.

X-rays is the plural of x-ray

Type your answer here... X-Ray generator is a device that generates x-rays for x-ray machine.

x-ray xenopus xenobian

It can. I recently took a trip from a small town low security airport to Hawaii and had no problems but the x ray machine in the higher security Honolulu International Airport and about 30 songs were deleted.

In pig latin, "X-Ray" would be translated to "Xay-Ray".

There is no x-ray.
