The Hubble space telescope uses optical sensors to gather data of distant objects; as it is located outside of the Earths atmosphere it is not subject to the distortions associated with terrestrial telescopes.

The Chandra (X-ray observatory) gathers x-ray data about the universe; again, this cannot be achieved with terrestrial based observatory instruments

Most large earth bound telescopes cannot see clear images of objects in deep space. Our. atmosphere distorts the pictures with shimmery air. The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) has the advantage because it is in space and has almost no distortion. It can see much farther than regular telescopes.
