Space Technology, Stars, Galaxies, & Exoplanets

What do you call astronomy tools placed in orbit around Earth. They have special instruments and telescopes that collect information from space. This information is sent back to Earth where it is interpreted.

• Satellite
• Space Probe
• Radio telescope
• Spectroscope

What do you call the astronomy tool that receive radio waves emitted from objects in space, including waves from very distant stars and galaxies; it can receive information in any weather and during day or night.

• Radio telescope
• Spectroscope
• Space probe
• Infrared telescope

What do you call the astronomy tool that collects light from distant stars and separate that light into bands of different colors; by studying these bands, astronomers can identify the elements, density, and temperature of distant stars and perhaps planets.

• Space Probe
• Spectroscope
• Infrared telescope
• Satellite

Spectrascopes collect light and then:

• Combine them into white light
• Combine them into black light
• Separate them into bands of colors
• Seperate them into white light
