Ultraviolet astronomy is the observation of electromagnetic radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 10 and 320 nanometres; shorter wavelengths—higher energy photons—are studied by X-ray astronomy and gamma-ray astronomy. [1] Ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. [2]
Spektr-UV, also known as World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet (WSO-UV), is a proposed ultraviolet space telescope intended for work in the 115 nm to 315 nm wavelength range. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is an international project led by Russia (Roscosmos), with participation from Spain and Japan.
Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE) is a small UV space telescope to study selected exoplanets. [1] It was launched as a rideshare on the Atlas V that launched Landsat 9 on September 27, 2021. [1] Designed to operate for at least 8 months and study 10 exoplanets, CUTE remains operational as of December 2023, 27 months after launch.

Four Great Observatories. NASA's series of Great Observatories satellites are four large, powerful space-based astronomical telescopes launched between 1990 and 2003. They were built with different technology to examine specific wavelength/energy regions of the electromagnetic spectrum: gamma rays, X-rays, visible and ultraviolet light, and infrared light.
A Kp level 6 has been issued, indicating that the aurora will be brighter and more active as it moves further from the poles. "At this geomagnetic activity level, it might be possible to see the ...
A new type of stellar object has been discovered releasing energetic bursts of radio waves every 22 minutes. An unusual object has been releasing pulses of radio waves in space for decades ...
UVS, known as the Ultraviolet Spectrograph [3] or Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer [4] is the name of an instrument on the Juno orbiter for Jupiter. [3] The instrument is an imaging spectrometer that observes the ultraviolet range of light wavelengths, which is shorter wavelengths than visible light but longer than X-rays. [ 5 ]
