Tour: NASA's Chandra Opens Treasure Trove of Cosmic Delights (09-02-2020)
Humanity has "eyes" that can detect all different types of light through telescopes around the globe and a fleet of observatories in space. From radio waves to gamma rays, this multiwavelength approach to astronomy is crucial to getting a complete understanding of objects in space.
