Because X-rays can't penetrate Earth's atmosphere. In other words, the

air soaks them all up, and none reach the ground. So an X-ray telescope

located on the ground would never see any, and would be quite useless.

Why are x-ray telescopes and gamma - ray telescopes in space?

The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.


How are objects placed in space?

By the use of rockets


What are 2 reasons for sending telescopes into space?

Telescopes in space are able to view objects clearly without having to look through a thick layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This enables them to capture better pictures and observe dimmer and more distant objects.


Is it true that the clearest images of objects in deep space are produced by a telescope in space?

Yes, telescopes in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, produce the clearest images because images from ground-based telescopes get distorted when the light passes through the atmosphere.


How do scientist study invisible radiation from objects in space?

They study visible light by using optical telescopes.


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.


What tools are used to explore space?

Tools such as satellites, space shuttles, and telescopes are used to explore space. Satellites take photos of certain objects in space depending on the mission. Obviously, space shuttles contain humans that are sent on a mission to explore certain object in space. Telescopes are used from Earth.


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.
