Ground-based imaging is a research area in which observations of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies, are conducted from the Earth's surface using telescopes and other imaging equipment. This type of imaging allows researchers to study the physical characteristics, movements, and behaviors of objects in space, as well as provide important data for astronomical research and discovery. Ground-based imaging is often conducted at observatories or research facilities with specialized equipment to capture high-quality images of objects in the night sky.
