Every time we see the stars during a starry night, or see an object through a telescope, what we are capturing is the \u00ab<em>optical information<\/em>\u00bb of celestial bodies, that is, the portion of their radiation that reaches us in the\u00a0<strong>visible range<\/strong>. Because the electromagnetic spectrum is much broader than just the visible range, astronomy has needed instruments capable of capturing the rest of the spectral information. Precisely, the amateur today has tools that allow him to explore not only the optical range, but also the wide space occupied by radio waves, and to do so, build equipment designed for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\">The radio spectrum involves venturing into different frequencies within a wide field, and based on this we can capture different phenomena invisible to our eyes. Depending on the equipment used, it is possible to capture the waves coming from the planet Jupiter, a volcanic eruption on the Io satellite, the constant signals coming from the Sun, among many others. The main field of action of the amateur radio astronomer is decametric or short wave observations, which are carried out around 20 MHz. With this, synchrotron radiation from the plane of the Milky Way, radiation from Jupiter and solar activity can be captured. .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NASA has a project called\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Radio Jove<\/strong><\/a>, dedicated to solar and planetary radio astronomy for students.
