A space telescope is a telescope that is launched into outer space to observe distant stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects, free from the distortion caused by the Earth's atmosphere. By orbiting the Earth or traveling through interplanetary space, space telescopes provide high-resolution images and valuable data that help scientists understand the universe, driving advancements in fields like astrophysics and cosmology, and inspiring new discoveries that shape our understanding of the cosmos.
