The Rest of the Sky

Looking through a telescope can show you many things you couldn't see without one. But you still can't see everything. Light comes in many different types, and our eyes are only sensitive to one type. The only light we can see is called visible light. But light also comes in many other types. So there is much more to sky than what you can see!

Click Next to find out about some of these other types of light.
