Space Telescope

A space telescope is a large instrument placed outside Earth's atmosphere, usually in orbit, designed to observe the universe without atmospheric interference. Unlike ground-based telescopes, it can gather clearer, more detailed images across various wavelengths like visible, infrared, and ultraviolet. This allows scientists to study distant stars, galaxies, and other celestial phenomena more effectively. Because it operates in space, a space telescope can avoid issues like weather and light pollution, providing a clearer and more comprehensive view of the cosmos. Notable examples include the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.
