Imaging Data And Space Photography -

: Non-optical telescopes detect radiation invisible to the human eye, including radio waves , infrared , X-rays , and gamma rays .

Each telescope is optimized for different types of data collection.

: To ensure accuracy, technicians take additional frames like Dark Frames (to reduce thermal noise) and Flat Frames (to remove dust spots and gradients).

: Advanced imaging, like integral field spectroscopy, creates "data cubes" where every pixel contains a full spectrum of light rather than just a single brightness value.
