Rendezvous Near an Orbital Telescope
A crewed or automated space rocket navigates near an orbital space telescope in high planetary orbit. In the surrounding celestial background, a large planet and its moon hang above glowing interstellar gas structures. Spacecraft often approach orbiting observatories to perform maintenance, upgrade optical equipment, or deploy replacement scientific instruments.
How Space Telescopes Capture the Universe
Space telescopes orbit high above Earth's atmosphere, which allows them to take crystal-clear pictures without atmospheric distortion or weather interference. Free from light pollution and air turbulence, these instruments collect faint light from stars and galaxies billions of light-years away. Large mirrors inside the telescope gather incoming light rays and focus them onto digital detectors.
