Answer: Most logical answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

A is gone because it would be the same on earth. Large.

C is also good but we can also do it from Earth.

(The main reason we put telescopes into space is to get around the Earth's atmosphere so that we can get a clearer view of the planets, stars, and galaxies that we are studying. ) That means C is not the answer and hints at B

D just sounds like it's straying off the question

So B sounds the most logical

Therefore, the answer is B.

Answer:

C Most likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Telescopes are placed into orbit around the Earth or are sent farther out into space to get a clearer view of the Universe. Many of these types of light (such as x-rays, gamma-rays, most ultraviolet, and infrared) can only be studied from space because they are blocked by our atmosphere.
