Satellite telescope

A satellite telescope is a specialized space-based instrument that captures images and gathers data from distant celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies. Unlike ground-based telescopes, it operates outside Earth's atmosphere, avoiding distortions caused by air turbulence. This allows for clearer, more detailed observations across various wavelengths of light, like infrared, ultraviolet, or X-ray. Satellite telescopes have advanced our understanding of the universe, enabling discoveries about cosmic origins, the behavior of black holes, and the nature of dark matter, all from the vantage point of space.
