Abstract
After the great successes of astronomy in the optical field, it is not surprising that attempts would be made to pursue astronomy in other spectral regions as well. In addition to radio astronomy and infrared astronomy, X-ray and gamma astronomy were also suitable. The problem is that it is only possible to operate astronomy from the surface of the Earth from the radar to the optical.
The universe is popping all over the place.
