Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Radio telescopes have discovered powerful radio galaxies and quasars far beyond the Milky Way Galaxy system. These cosmic objects have intense clouds of radio emission that extend hundreds of thousands of light-years away from a central energy source located in an active galactic nucleus (AGN), or quasar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radio telescopes detect and amplify radio waves from space, turning them into signals that astronomers use to enhance our understanding of the Universe.

Detailed explanation-3: -A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to detect radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky.

Detailed explanation-4: -The radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum can come from energetic objects and processes in the universe as well as cold, dark objects that emit no visible light. Because different wavelengths are given off by different objects, radio astronomers use a variety of methods and instruments to detect them.
