What is radio astronomy?

Radio astronomy is a branch of astronomy that studies celestial objects and phenomena by detecting and analyzing radio waves emitted or reflected by astronomical sources. It allows astronomers to explore the universe beyond the visible spectrum, revealing insights into cosmic processes like star formation, galaxy evolution, and the presence of interstellar matter and magnetic fields. Radio telescopes and interferometers are used to collect and analyze radio signals from various regions of the sky.
