X-ray Astronomy is a branch of astronomy that studies celestial objects by observing the X-rays they emit. Unlike visible light, X-rays can penetrate dust and gas, allowing scientists to explore regions of space that are otherwise hidden. This field helps us understand high-energy phenomena, such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.
To detect X-rays, astronomers use specialized instruments like X-ray telescopes, which are often placed in space to avoid Earth's atmosphere. These telescopes capture and analyze X-ray emissions, providing valuable insights into the composition, temperature, and behavior of various astronomical objects.
