Nearly all observationally obtained information in astronomy comes from performing observational astronomy by receiving and analyzing various forms of radiation with telescopes.

Radiation is commonly thought of as either radioactivity or electromagnetic radiation. Nearly all types of radiation produced in the laboratory also occur in the universe and impinge on or above the Earth.
