No atmosphere to contend with. No clouds. No light pollution. No rainy days, snow storms, earthquakes, or daylight. Just 24 hours of non stop light gathering glory.
Radio signals are sent from Earth, to operate the telescopes.

Robot space probes and telescopes
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
All space telescopes are unmanned - unless you want to count the small telescopes on the Shuttle or IIS as space telescopes.
No - radio telescopes are (to put it simply) giant aerials. They gather radio signals from outer space, bringing them to a focal point. The signals are sent to computers for analysis.
Telescopes on Earth have to look through the atmosphere (air) which distorts the image. Telescopes in space dont have to look through the atmosphere and so the image is a lot clearer.
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.
Telescopes have helped discover many things in space that are not visible such as some of the outer planets of our solar system.
They must be launched in to space because there is a better veiw in space than from earth.
