There are also some nifty physics tricks that can be used, such as gravitational lensing . Basically a massive object, like a galaxy, bend the light of an object behind it around it. This results in a magnification/amplification affect. Using some fancy math, astronomers can used this warped and distorted image to reconstruct the object.
