Because we can't see through a gas cloud, we would not use optical telescopes which collect

visible light to form images of stars inside a gas cloud. Which type of telescope would we use
to study new stars inside the giant gas cloud and why?

Answer:

It's an infrared telescope.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't rely on an optical telescope since it only shows what we can see. In turn, we can use an infrared telescope because it allows us to see heat. We can use this heat to study celestial bodies, stars, and gases.

Answer: radio telescopes can be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radio telescopes can be used to see through the dust and the star being born. The stars are born into clouds of gases in the space. Due to gravity more and more gas get collected and it forms a clump. When the clump get big enough the hydrogen atom crash each other to form the helium. The clump of gas becomes a star. The radio telescopes can be used to take pictures of these stars within the clump of gas. It can also be used to take picture of fusion of gases within a star to initiate the formation of new star.
