Since the time of Galileo, human beings have been using telescopes to scan the skies. Galileo explored the night sky and discovered the Milky Way, but today, telescopes are used for a wide range of research. One of their important features is the ability to see lots of colours and light types that our eyes can’t register – such as infrared, ultraviolet, gamma rays, x rays, microwave and radiowaves. They can see much finer details than our eyes can, and can simultaneously record what they are seeing, so that observations can be shared.
