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.
What else can I help you with?
What are some Types of Space Telescopes?
Gamma, X-ray, Optical, and Radio
Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?
they did it to get more detailed pictures of space

Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.

Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
Yes, astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes to study high-energy phenomena in space. These telescopes are typically located at high-altitude sites to reduce interference from Earth's atmosphere and are used to observe sources such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.
Where is the Fermi gamma ray telescope located?
In low earth orbit, perigee 333 miles, apogee 344 miles, inclination 25.58 degrees, orbital period 95.40 minutes, velocity 17,000 miles per hour. Gamma ray (and x-ray) telescopes must be in space because the atmosphere is opaque to gamma rays (and x-rays).
What are some ways scientist study the universe?
they use radio telescopes, infrared, gamma ray, and etc.
Does the process of photoconduction only occur in the visible light spectrum?
No, it is also observed in case of UV, Xray, Gamma ray.
Do x ray and gamma ray telescopes have the same design as an optical instrument?
No, x-rays and gamma rays cannot be focused by lenses or conventional telescope mirrors. To make mirrors that will focus x-rays or gamma rays you need very shallow glancing angle mirrors, that are nearly just parabolically tapered tubes. Typically several of these tubes with the same focal point but different diameter are nested inside each other.
What are Three telescopes that are currently collecting data in orbit around earth?
Hubble Space Telescope - it has been operational since 1990 and has provided numerous groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy. Chandra X-ray Observatory - it has been studying the universe in X-ray wavelengths since 1999, helping to uncover high-energy phenomena. Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope - launched in 2008, it observes the universe in gamma-ray wavelengths, enabling the study of extreme astrophysical processes.
