They must be launched in to space because there is a better veiw in space than from earth.

What are some telescopes names?
The two types are refractor and reflector. In a refracting telescope, the light comes in THROUGH a magnifying LENS where it is REFRACTED (bent) to focus the light into an objective lens. In a reflecting telescope, the light BOUNCES OFF a curved magnifying MIRROR , and then reflected again on a secondary mirror to direct the light into an objective lens. Among the advantages of a reflecting telescope are that in a refracting lens, the thickness of the lens can absorb some of the light, while a mirror reflects all of the light. Additionally, a reflecting telescope can "fold" the telescope into a much more compact instrument, which is essential with especially large devices. A large refracting telescope would be enormously heavy and cumbersome.
Does absolute motion only exist in outer space?
There is no such thing as "absolute motion" - neither in outer space, nor anywhere else. Motion must always be specified in relationship to some other object.
Why are the European ariane rockets launched from the korou site in French Guiana south America and not simply from some place in Europe where the rockets are partly built?
At the equator, the Earth spins faster; if the rocket is launched in the direction the Earth is spinning, this will save some fuel.
Why do astronomers continue to build even larger telescopes?
Radio telescopes allow us to see things that can't be seen in visible light. And vice versa, optical telescopes can show things that are not visible in radio telescopes. So, the information from both kinds of telescopes really complements each other.
What do the letters H-R stand for in astronomy?
HR is a designation for some eyepieces for telescopes. It stands for High Resolution. Some manufacturers market these 6 element eyepieces as planetary eyepieces because if their long eye relief. Be wary of this designation. I have also seen it used in the cheapest 2 and 3 element eyepieces that come with "department store" telescopes.
Why are some telescopes launched into space?
Some of the best telescopes are in orbit because the earth atmosphere distorts the light from distant stars,which is something scientist and astronomers would rather avoid.
Why do you keep some telescopes in space?

What are some names of a space exploration?
Robot space probes and telescopes
How are telescopes used in astronomy?
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
Why do you need to put some telescopes in space?
Telescopes on Earth have to look through the atmosphere (air) which distorts the image. Telescopes in space dont have to look through the atmosphere and so the image is a lot clearer.
What have telescopes discovered and found out?
Telescopes have helped discover many things in space that are not visible such as some of the outer planets of our solar system.
What are some Types of Space Telescopes?
Gamma, X-ray, Optical, and Radio
Why do scientists use telscopes?
well they use the telescopes so they can look in space some telescopes have helped people discover new planets
What is some space technology that led to other space technology?
There are telescopes you can see stars with. Sattelite Probes flyby
What technology helps to find out more about stars and planets?
Usually, the telescope, the Hubble Space telescopes are some examples or telescopes. There are ground ones and also ones that are launched into space. There are also rocket launches. They are basically, space shuttles/space ships that are launched into space to capture pictures, and used to take astronauts up there to study more about space. Star charts are another example of technology that are used to study the night sky.Scientists use it to record down the exact mark of where the stars are...not really something that is tootechnical. Satellitesare also used in these situations, too. They can take pictures, get closeups towards planets, etc.
Why would some telescopes need to be in space and not on the surface of Earth?
cause they gather light and concentrate it.
Where do reflecting telescopes work best?
All telescopes work best in the vacuum of space. Aside from that, "where" really is not a great factor compared to other types of telescopes. The distinct advantage of some reflecting telescopes is that they don't suffer from chromatic aberration like refractors do.
