Radio Telescope in India. 
Radio telescopes have provided scientists with valuable information about our universe. One of the most 
important functions of radio telescopes is their ability to allow scientists to track different space probes, the 
unmanned space missions in outer space. Radio telescopes allow for the travel of space probes into places like 
the surface of Mars that are too dangerous for men to explore. Without radio wave technology, scientists would 
not know much of what inhabits the universe nor would they be able to see it. Radio waves are our eyes and 
ears in outer space.

chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is 
due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their
