Space telescopes are specialized observatories that orbit the Earth or travel through space to capture high-resolution images and data of celestial objects, free from the distortion caused by the Earth's atmosphere. By providing unprecedented views of the universe, space telescopes have revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos, enabling scientists to study phenomena such as black holes, dark matter, and the formation of galaxies, and driving advancements in fields like astrophysics and cosmology.
