X-ray telescopeA telescope that collects X-rays using grazing incidence mirrors (nested cylindrical shallow mirrors) that deflect X-ray at very low angles and detect them using suitable detectors.

X-ray telescopeA special telescope used to detect X-rays – high-energy electromagnetic radiation. The high energy of X-rays means they will go through rather than bounce off a “normal” telescope mirror. Instead, the mirrors are arranged so the X-rays skip across them much like a stone skips across the surface of a lake.

X-ray telescopeThe coldest possible temperature, at which all molecular motion stops. On the Kelvin temperature scale, this temperature is the zero-point (0 K), which is equivalent to -273°C and -460°F.
