Telescopes
Different telescopes use different "these" from the spectrum
What are electromagnetic waves?
These are designed to propel themselves by ejecting exhaust gas from one end
What are rockets?
This solar probe collected data from the Sun as it orbited for 19 years
What is Ulysses?
The entire range of radiant energy carried by electromagnetic waves
telescopes work better in space because they don't have this
What is an atmosphere?
Optical telescopes view this type of wave
This was the series of missions designed to send people to the moon
What is Saturn?
The study of life in the universe, including life on Earth and the possibility of extraterrestrial life
What is astrobiology?
What is Mars?
The James Webb and Spitzer telescopes are designed to orbit this
What is the Sun?
This facility is used to house astronauts in space, may countries do research here
What is the International Space Station?

Messenger will study this planet's geology and chemistry as it orbits

What is a flyby probe?
Radio waves are the longest waves with the lowest energy; these waves are the shortest and have the highest energy
What are gamma rays?
