Ground-based observations

Ground-based observations refer to the collection of data about celestial objects and phenomena using telescopes and instruments located on Earth. This method allows astronomers to study stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic events directly from our planet’s surface. While weather conditions and atmospheric interference can affect these observations, ground-based telescopes are highly advanced and often situated in remote locations to minimize such issues. These observations are essential for understanding the universe, complementing space-based telescopes, and enabling continuous monitoring of celestial changes over time.
