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 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
What kind of telescope uses a scintillating detector?
A scintillating detector is commonly used in gamma-ray telescopes. These telescopes detect high-energy photons by measuring the light produced when gamma rays interact with scintillating materials. The emitted light is then converted into electrical signals for analysis, allowing astronomers to study cosmic gamma-ray sources. Examples of such telescopes include the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

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.

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).
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.
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.
