Abstract
For more than 300 years astronomers searched the firmament only with optical telescopes. Since the beginning of the thirties they also have had radiotelescopes. Today, balloons, rockets, and satellites make it possible to receive and record X- and γ-radiation from cosmic objects. Finally, the cosmic corpuscular radiation provides the astronomers with novel information.
