Why Do We Put Telescopes in Space?

The video explains why telescopes are placed in space, primarily to avoid atmospheric interference that blocks and distorts light from celestial objects. The atmosphere causes issues like light blockage, turbulence, and interference from sunlight and moonlight. Space telescopes offer benefits such as 24-hour observation and clearer infrared images. However, they are costly and challenging to maintain.
