Some of the Tools We Use!

This is a post about all of my tools that we use to find the location of the solar system and the Milky Way, and how they work!

Telescope-  A major tool; Helps you see far into space to get research on how things look. There are telescopes for every part of the light spectrum, from Gamma ray telescopes to radio telescopes. A Gamma ray telescope detects super high energy photons that cannot be focused by a glass lens. A radio  telescope allows us to see into places optical telescopes can't see.

Satellites- Great for gathering specific types of data as well.

More recently, particle smashers allow us to observe conditions of the universe shortly after the big bang. It's like an astronomers test tube.
