Q&A: X-ray Astronomy
Q:
I've been looking for a ground-based X-ray telescope for some
time now but I haven't found anything. I am thinking maybe you
can give me a hand.
A:
Absorption by the Earth's atmosphere restricts ground-based
observations to radio, near infrared, and visible wavelengths.
X-rays are absorbed high above the Earth. (delete the
rest)
