An X-ray telescope (XRT) is a telescope that is designed to observe remote objects in the X-ray spectrum. X-rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so instruments to detect X-rays must be taken to high altitude by balloons, sounding rockets, and satellites.

X-ray telescope, instrument designed to detect and resolve X-rays from sources outside Earth’s atmosphere. Because of atmospheric absorption, X-ray telescopes must be carried to high altitudes by rockets or balloons or placed in orbit outside the atmosphere.

1999年7月23日 · The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the world's most powerful X-ray telescope. It has eight-times greater resolution and is able to detect sources more than 20-times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), previously known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), is a Flagship-class space telescope launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999.

NASA's flagship mission for X-ray astronomy. A bouquet of thousands of stars in bloom has arrived. This composite image contains the deepest X-ray image ever made of the spectacular star forming region called 30 Doradus.

An explanation of cosmic X-ray sources, from black holes to galaxy clusters, as well as a review of the history of X-ray astronomy, what X-rays are and how they are produced.

X-ray astronomy is an observational branch of astronomy which deals with the study of X-ray observation and detection from astronomical objects. X-radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so instruments to detect X-rays must be taken to high altitude by balloons, sounding rockets, and satellites.

X-ray telescopes produce images of x-ray-emitting objects within the telescope’s FIELD OF VIEW by reflection from precisely shaped mirrors. Hans Wolter’s design in the early 1950s of an x-ray microscope using reflective optics led Riccardo GIACCONI to …

2024年5月21日 · An X-ray telescope is a telescope designed to detect emissions of energy in the X-ray spectrum. This area of the spectrum involves high frequency, short wavelength energy with a number of intriguing properties.

Look at the electromagnetic spectrum, learn how X-rays are produced, and compare medical X-rays and X-ray Astronomy. What happens when an X-ray is absorbed in the atmosphere? How do X-ray telescopes in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere collect X-rays? How are Chandra images made? What do the colors mean?
