ruimtevaartobservatoria
Ruimtevaartobservatoria, also known as space observatories, are telescopes or other scientific instruments placed in space to observe celestial objects and phenomena. These observatories are crucial for astronomical research because they can overcome the limitations imposed by Earth's atmosphere, which distorts, absorbs, and scatters light across the electromagnetic spectrum. By operating above the atmosphere, space observatories can capture clearer images and collect more accurate data, including wavelengths that are entirely blocked by Earth's air, such as ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray radiation.
The development of space observatories began in the mid-20th century, with early pioneers like the Orbiting
Space observatories are designed for various purposes, from studying distant galaxies and exoplanets to investigating the
