Radio Telescopes Radio Waves
1,285 words... copes Orbiting telescopes are used to observe the ultraviolet (UV), far infrared, and X-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Romeo And Juliet Feud Between The Two Families
797 wordsRomeo and Juliet is a play filled with lots of irony. It contains verbal irony, dramatic irony, however it is most famous for its ending witch is full of situational irony.
