which phrases describe space observatories? check all that apply.
□ are telescopes that can take images of invisible energy
□ are located on earths surface away from areas of light pollution
□ observe electromagnetic radiation that is blocked by our atmosphere
□ observe only electromagnetic radiation that makes it through earths atmosphere
□ are large observation decks in space where humans can conduct experiments

Explanation:

Space observatories are in space or above Earth's atmosphere to observe radiation blocked by the atmosphere. They can detect invisible energy like X - rays and gamma - rays. They are not on Earth's surface away from light pollution (which describes ground - based observatories), and they are not just for radiation that makes it through the atmosphere. Also, they are not large decks for human experiments in the common sense described.

Answer:

• are telescopes that can take images of invisible energy
• observe electromagnetic radiation that is blocked by our atmosphere
