In space, however, telescopes are able to get a clearer shot of everything from exploding stars to other galaxies. Another disadvantage for ground-basedtelescopes is that the Earth's atmosphere absorbs much of the infrared and ultraviolet light that passes through it.

Answer:

The answer is Orbiting telescopes can make observations to their full potential.

Step-by-step explanation:

The space telescope is an artificial satellite that is used for the observation of planets, galaxies, stars, among other celestial bodies.

A telescope in space has advantages such as that it does not suffer the light pollution produced by cities, in addition to that it does not observe through the atmosphere (Earth's atmosphere adds an important distortion in the images), so its capacity always yields close of the theoretical maximum.
