Why do you not have groundbased gamma ray and x-ray telescopes?

Because radiation at those wavelengths is absorbed in the atmosphere, and very little of it
ever reaches the ground. Operated on the ground, those telescopes would see almost nothing.

aplha, beta, gamma
Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
No they do not, or use gamma ray telescopes either. Not ground based.
What is used to detect gamma rays?
By X-ray film or some kind of detector that is the digital equivalent.
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.
What are some Types of Space Telescopes?
Gamma, X-ray, Optical, and Radio
Does the intensity of Xrays and gamma rays differ?
Intensity is independent of frequency or wavelength. So whether it is Xray or gamma ray both can have the same intensity.
What has the author Seth Digel written?

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.

Is an xray a light wave?
Yes an X-Ray is a light wave. It comes before Gamma Rays! The smallest wave visible.
