5. Astronomers use different types of telescopes to observe different parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum. This allows astronomers to study objects in space. Each type of
electromagnetic wave can travel through space at the speed of light. Sometimes astronomers
will use two telescopes on opposites sides of a planet and combine the image from each
telescope. When combined, the two telescopes act like one giant telescope and have the ability
to reveal important details from space.
