The atmosphere blocks and distorts light. Telescopes in space don't have that interference. This allows them to see farther and to get clearer, more detailed images.
Earth has an atmosphere that gets in the way of us seeing everything that's out in space.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is located in space, in Earth's orbit. It was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1999 and has been observing the universe in high-energy X-rays ever since.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory operates in space because Earth's atmosphere absorbs X-rays, preventing them from reaching ground-based telescopes. By locating the observatory in space, it can capture X-rays from distant celestial objects without interference, providing clearer and more detailed images of the universe. Additionally, operating in space allows Chandra to observe continuously without the interruptions caused by Earth's day-night cycle.
In space, there is no interference by Earth's atmosphere.

Because X-Rays do not penetrate the earth's surface. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory would be completely useless on the ground because it detects X-Rays. Therefore, it must be in space to detect the rays.
It is a space based XRAY telescope

I would have to say the Moon, but there are many famous satellites that orbit Earth (Hubble, the International Space Station, Chandra X-ray Observatory, etc.)

The Chandra Telescope uses x-rays to examine outer space.

Both the Sun and the Earth exert gravitational pull on each other; the resulting tension causes the Earth to remain in space rather than crash into the Sun.
