Because there is no (or very little) atmosphere in space. It is because of our atmosphere that the stars twinkle. This bothers astronomers because when they are looking through a telescope, the see the object twinkling and "moving" in little waves. Thus, they cannot make out details. If there is no atmosphere, there is no twinkling and there is no problem!
