What is meant by space observation why is it important

Space observatory
A space observatory is any instrument in outer space which is used for observation of distant planets, galaxies, and other outer space objects.
A large number of observatories have been launched into orbit, and most of them have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the cosmos.
Performing astronomy from the Earth's surface is limited by the filtering and distortion of electromagnetic radiation due to the Earth's atmosphere.
This makes it desirable to place astrononomical observation devices into space.
As a telescope orbits the Earth outside the atmosphere it is subject neither to twinkling (distortion due to thermal turbulences of the air) nor to light pollution from artificial light sources on the Earth.
But space-based astronomy is even more important for frequency ranges which are outside of the optic window and the radio window, the only two wavelength ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum that are not severely attenuated by the atmosphere.
• The scientific observations on the different circumstances happening in the outer space with the help of modern science and technology is known as the space observation.
• Space observation is important for the following reasons :
- There are many threats which can come from the outer space and negatively affect our planet,such as meteoroid,space radiation and many more.
By the help of the space observation we can know the occurance of these threatening accidents in the before hand and take according precautions.
- The outer space circumstances is related to the key of many unsolved aspects of the science and a detailed observation or analysis of the space can can help our science to go beyond it's present boundary.
And many more.
