Q&A: X-ray Astronomy

Q:
I've been looking for a ground-based X-ray telescope for some time now but I haven't found anything. I am thinking maybe you can give me a hand.

A:
Absorption by the Earth's atmosphere restricts ground-based observations to radio, near infrared, and visible wavelengths. X-rays are absorbed high above the Earth. (delete the rest)
