Space telescopes are astronomical observatories located outside of Earth’s atmosphere. Their primary function is to observe celestial objects and phenomena without the distortion and absorption of light that occurs when observations are made through the atmosphere. By positioning telescopes in space, astronomers gain access to a broader range of wavelengths, including infrared, ultraviolet, and X-rays, which are often blocked by the atmosphere. These telescopes are equipped with various instruments that allow them to capture images and gather data across the electromagnetic spectrum, helping researchers study the universe’s structure, evolution, and the formation of stars and galaxies. Notable examples of space telescopes include the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the James Webb Space Telescope.
