These are the classifications most often used in earth sciences. Most of the light at these wavelengths is absorbed by the earth s atmosphere so observations at these wavelengths must be performed from the upper atmosphere or from space.

Ultraviolet astronomy is the study of astronomical objects in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum because earth s atmosphere prevents ultraviolet radiation from reaching its surface ground based observatories cannot observe in the ultraviolet.
Planets ultraviolet. Ultraviolet uv photons are diagnostic of many stellar and planetary processes including system formation planet atmospheres habitability stellar activity and star planet interactions. With very limited access to uv observations of exoplanetary systems it is time to bring the exoplanet stellar and solar system communities together to. Much radiation is lost even at the highest altitudes that balloons can reach.
Ultraviolet astronomy is the observation of electromagnetic radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 10 and 320 nanometres. Astrophysical sources of ultraviolet light are hot objects t 10 6 10 8 k including young massive ob stars evolved white dwarfs supernova remnants the sun s corona and gas in galaxy clusters. Uv b rays are the harmful rays that cause sunburn.
Shorter wavelengths higher energy photons are studied by x ray astronomy and gamma ray astronomy. Only with the advent of space based telescopes has this area of astronomy become available for research. Uv c rays are the most harmful and are almost completely absorbed by our atmosphere.
The sun is a source of the full spectrum of ultraviolet radiation which is commonly subdivided into uv a uv b and uv c. Ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. Ultraviolet astronomy became feasible with the advent of rockets capable of carrying instruments above earth s atmosphere which absorbs most electromagnetic radiation of ultraviolet wavelengths i e roughly 100 to 4 000 angstroms from celestial sources.
