Not exact matches

According to Mather and other leading astronomers now working on a report to be released this summer by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), that quest and others require an even bigger space telescope that would observe, as Hubble does, at optical, ultraviolet and near - infrared wavelengths.

The team observed the star with the infrared Spitzer and ultraviolet Swift space telescopes from October 2015 to December 2016 — the first observations in multiple wavelengths of light.

While NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting around Earth, was able to observe the northern auroras in ultraviolet wavelengths, NASA's Cassini spacecraft, orbiting around Saturn, got complementary close - up views in infrared, visible - light and ultraviolet wavelengths.

Hubble was used to observe ultraviolet, visible and near - infrared wavelengths, but only with Spitzer have we been able to jump through the cosmic dust and clutter to see distant reaches of the galaxy with such amazing clarity.

XMM - Newton observed this output in optical, ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths, enabling the astronomers to measure how far the disk sits from the black hole.

One of the biggest changes is that unlike the Hubble — which looked at visible or ultraviolet wavelengths, in general — the JWST will be observing the universe primarily in the infrared spectrum.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Mars Color Imager (MARCI), shown here with a gloved hand for scale, is currently orbiting Mars and taking pictures used to monitor the weather by observing the entire planet every day at 5 visible and 2 ultraviolet wavelengths.

It significantly enhances the spectroscopic capabilities of HST at ultraviolet wavelengths, and provides observers with unparalleled opportunities for observing faint sources of ultraviolet light.

Observing in wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared, this unique instrument will allow astronomers to address fundamental questions in astronomy ranging from understanding star and planet formation to unraveling the history of galaxies and the development of large - scale structure in the universe.

MACS0647JD was observed by Hubble with 17 filters, spanning near - ultraviolet to near - infrared wavelengths, but the galaxy appeared only in the telescope's two reddest filters.

The cocoon also explains other details of the event, such as the initial bright blue flash observed at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths, and the delay in the appearance of X-rays and radio waves.
