Abstract from DBPedia
    Ultraviolet astronomy is the observation of electromagnetic radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 10 and 320 nanometres; shorter wavelengths—higher energy photons—are studied by X-ray astronomy and gamma-ray astronomy. Ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. Most of the light at these wavelengths is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so observations at these wavelengths must be performed from the upper atmosphere or from space.

    紫外線天文学（しがいせんてんもんがく、英語：ultraviolet astronomy）は、天文学や天体物理学の一分野で、紫外線の波長で観測できる天体を扱うものである。
