Special telescopes, such as the Chandra X-ray Telescope, help astronomers see different kinds of electromagnetic radiation besides visible light. Why is this helpful?
• X-Rays give off a spectrum of light that tell astronomers what elements make up individual stars. ***
• X-Rays can travel faster to Earth so astronomers can see events taking place sooner with visible light.
• X-Rays can travel through dust to allow an astronomer to see more detail when looking at things like nebula.

Nope. Xrays penetrate thru so we can detect them. Many other forms of light do not.
