Optical and Radio telescopes can be used from the ground!
•Infrared, X-ray and Gamma ray telescopes must work beyond the ionosphere.
•The ionosphere filters out many of the waves

Tour of Orion
The tour presents five images of Orion. All show the same area of the sky but were made with telescopes working at different wavelengths of light (optical, infrared, and three
radio wavelengths).
