Which telescope must be mounted high to study the stars?
They all could benefit from higher altitude. The higher up you go, the thinner the atmosphere. The thinner the atmosphere, the clearer the view through the telescope. This is why space born telescopes produce such stunningly clear images.
How did newton's invention of the reflecting telescope affect the field of astronomy?
it allowed astronomers to see clearer images without distorted or lost colors.

What is the name of the telescope that was sent out in space so it could see sharper and clearer images of planets star and deep space?
HUBBLE
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.
Why radio telescope are usually located at higher altitudes far from population?
So they can get clearer images

What is a tool used to produce magnified images of distance objects?
a telescope
Why does the Hubble Space Telescope give clearer images than those from earth?
Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes.
How does interferometry affect the images that are produced?
The detail in the images that they produce improves as the distance between the telescope increases.
Is the Hubble telescope better than a ground-based telescope?
yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.
Why are images from the hubble telescope clearer than images from the telescopes on earth?
Because of the atmosphere. The atmosphere distorts light (this is also why stars 'twinkle'), where as the HST, free from this, faces no interference.
What is a telescope that gathers x-rays from distant objects in order to produce the images of those objects?
X-ray telescope

Why can the Hubble telescope see better than a telescope on earth?
Even in excellent weather, telescopes on Earth are affected by the thickness of the atmosphere. This causes the air to be slightly refractive, meaning that the air bents the light as it comes through the atmosphere, and distorts the image that we are trying to see.The Hubble Space Telescope is much smaller than many terrestrial telescopes, but because there is no atmospheric distortion, the images can be far clearer and can be magnified more.
