Hubble Floats Free
The Hubble Space Telescope floats freely in space, seen here during a servicing mission. Space telescopes avoid Earth's atmosphere, which blocks much of the electromagnetic spectrum. This allows them to observe in wavelengths like ultraviolet, X-ray, and infrared, which cannot reach ground-based observatories.
