X-Ray Astronomy
X-Ray Astronomy is a branch of astronomy that studies celestial objects by detecting the X-rays they emit. Unlike visible light, X-rays can penetrate dust and gas, allowing scientists to observe high-energy phenomena in the universe, such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants. Specialized instruments, like X-ray telescopes, are used to capture these high-energy emissions from space.
X-Ray Astronomy began in the 1960s when scientists launched the first X-ray observatories into space, as Earth's atmosphere blocks X-rays from reaching the surface. This field has provided valuable insights into the behavior of extreme environments and the fundamental processes occurring in the universe.
