Strictly speaking, you cannot see "outer space", because space is almost entirely empty.

That means that there is nothing there to reflect light back to our eyes, so we don't

see anything.

But to view things on the other side of the "almost entirely empty" outer space -

things like moons, planets and stars - we typically use many versions of telescopes,

although you can see examples of each with your bare eyes.

What items that were developed for use in space but also have used on earth called?

Items developed for use in space that have also found applications on Earth are known as "spinoffs" or "space spinoffs." These innovations often arise from technology originally designed for space missions but are adapted for commercial use, improving everyday life. Examples include advancements in materials, telecommunications, and medical technologies, such as memory foam and water purification systems.

What is an Earth telescope?

An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.
