| Description |
Optical astronomy is the study of the heavens as they emit light, or the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma-ray astronomy is the study of astrophysical sources that emit the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation (ie: gamma-rays). High Energy gamma-rays are much too faint to be directly seen with the human eye. Thus they are detected using arrays of large diameter (39 ft) mirrors and fast digitizing cameras which image the light emitted from the gamma-ray as it is absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere. |
