Space telescopes are an important tool for astronomers, who use them to study a wide range of astronomical phenomena. They have been used to study distant galaxies, nebulae, and other objects in the universe, providing valuable insights into the nature and history of the cosmos. Space telescopes have also been used to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, which are planets that orbit stars other than our own Sun.

Space telescopes use a combination of mirrors, lenses, and detectors to capture light from distant objects in the universe. The mirrors and lenses focus the light onto the detectors, which are sensitive instruments that convert the light into electronic signals. These signals are then processed by on-board computers to create images of the objects being observed.

Space telescopes are instruments that are designed to observe the universe from space. They are typically much larger and more advanced than ground-based telescopes, and are able to capture light from distant objects in the universe with greater precision and clarity. This allows us to study the universe in much greater detail, providing a unique view of the cosmos.

For example, the brightness or contrast of the image may be adjusted, or false colors may be added to highlight certain features. Despite these adjustments, the images are still based on real data and accurately represent what the telescope observed.
