Usually orbiting Earth, that is, in an orbit around Earth, but fairly close to Earth - a few 100 km. distance from Earth's surface, at most.

What is an Earth telescope?
An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.
How do we see deep into space?
We see deep into space by using optical or radio telescopes, either from the Earth's surface, from satellites orbiting above us, or carried out into space on an unmanned spacecraft.
Are telescopes found in space Yes or No?
Yes, if you look in the right place.
Where is the moon found in space?
Orbiting Earth at a distance of 384,400 km.
What have telescopes discovered and found out?
Telescopes have helped discover many things in space that are not visible such as some of the outer planets of our solar system.
Are space telescopes manned or unmanned satellites?
All space telescopes are unmanned - unless you want to count the small telescopes on the Shuttle or IIS as space telescopes.
Why do astronomers currently prefer orbiting telescopes over earth based telescopes?
Orbiting telescopes are located in the sky, where it is not affected by the turbulence of the atmosphere, while ground-based telescopes are located on the ground, where the atmospheric turbulence (the moving of air) is greater. This is also the reason that some telescopes are built on mountains where the atmosphere is thinner and turbulence is smaller.
What has the author Valerie Neal written?

What is the large space surrounding the atomic nucleus that is orbiting electrons that can be found?
This space is only absolute vacuum.

What has the hubble space telescope found out about space?
The Hubble spacecraft has found more anbout the stars and planets more clearly then the others saw from other telescopes.
What is a large space surrouding atomic nucleus in which orbiting electrons can be found?
This an electron cloud.
