Radio waves are at the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced by electrons spiraling around magnetic field lines generated by stars, galaxies and black holes. Their long wavelengths allow radio waves to pass through a lot of the gas and dust in space that blocks shorter wavelength light—hence we can probe deep into the hearts of celestial objects by looking in the radio range.
