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]
The telescope made observations in ultraviolet wavelengths to measure the history of star formation in the universe 80% of the way back to the Big Bang. Since scientists have evidence that the Universe to be about 13.8 billion years old, the mission studied galaxies and stars across about 10 billion years of cosmic history.
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.

Anthony Robledo, USA TODAY Updated September 12, 2024 at 9:40 AM Colorful northern lights could be visible across several states Thursday night from the Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest and Northeast.
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 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 ]
