What are two ways in which astronomers can overcome the distortion of starlight that is cause by the earths atmosphere?

Astronomers can overcome the distortion of starlight caused by Earth's atmosphere by using adaptive optics, which involves real-time adjustments to telescope mirrors to counteract atmospheric turbulence. Another method is placing telescopes in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, to eliminate atmospheric interference altogether, allowing for clearer and more detailed observations of celestial objects.
