Radio+Telescope

__//**Radio Telescope**//__

Radio Telescopes are made with four main parts. First of all, they have a large circular concave piece of either metal, wire mesh or in some cases concrete. This piece deflects radio waves that are emitted from planets, stars , nebulae and nearly every other object in space. As these radio waves hit either the metal, wire mesh or concrete, the radio waves are deflected towards the antenna. As these radio waves hit the antenna, the antenna sends the information to an amplifier. The amplifier takes the signal and amplifies the signal so that it can be sent to it's final part the computer. The computer then takes the amlified signal and turns it into an image that can be displayed on the monitor. //A Radio Telescope and the main parts.// //An image of the galaxy Andromeda  taken from a radio telescope.//
