The Hubble Space Telescope is located in the Earth's lower orbit, approximately 547 kilometers (about 340 miles) above the Earth's surface. It operates outside of the Earth's atmosphere, which allows it to capture clearer images of celestial objects without the distortion caused by atmospheric interference. This space environment enables Hubble to observe light across a wide range of wavelengths, including ultraviolet and infrared, enhancing its ability to study the universe.
