Another‚ probably more key advantage of radio astronomy is that in our galaxy there is quite a bit of dust‚ which makes some other galaxies impossible to view using visible light and optical telescopes. Radio waves travel unimpeded by this dust and allow us to detect these other galaxies‚ and along with this allow us to perform radio astronomy with clouds and rain. Radio astronomy has also helped detect many new objects that would have otherwise
