An early pioneer of radio astronomy was Grote Reber, an amateur astronomer who constructed the first purpose built radio telescope in the late 1930s to follow up on the discovery of radio wavelength emissions from space by Karl Jansky.

It was created for and is still most frequently used in reference to electromagnetic energy, especially in the context of radio astronomy.

Optical astronomy Historically, optical astronomy, also called visible light astronomy, is the oldest form of astronomy.

Fifty years on from Watson's accidental encounter with the Sun, Jansky's careful listening ushered in a new age of space exploration the radio astronomy age.

Well, of course, as soon as anybody did look, which was after about 20 years, when radio astronomy really took off. Because it turned out the universe is absolutely full of all kinds of wonderful things radiating in the radio spectrum, much brighter than the Sun.
