Answer to Question 1

The HST is not limited to the atmospheric windows as ground-based telescopes are. It observes almost continuously, while ground-based optical telescopes are restricted mainly to nocturnal observations. The HST lacks seeing distortion, so it can detect fine detail, and because it concentrates light into sharp images, it can detect extremely faint objects.

Answer to Question 2

True
