Radio Astronomy

Radio astronomy is the study of celestial objects through their radio frequency emissions. Unlike optical astronomy, which relies on visible light, radio astronomy detects signals from distant stars, galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena. By analyzing these radio waves, scientists can uncover details about the universe’s structure, composition, and dynamics, revealing phenomena like pulsars, quasars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. It provides crucial insights into the universe’s evolution and behavior.
