UV-C light is necessary for the formation of ozone. Above the stratosphere, there is a greater amount of UV-C light
than in the mid-stratosphere.
Briefly explain why the ozone layer is found in the mid-stratosphere and not above the stratosphere (where there is
the most UV-C light).
You want to propose putting together a telescope specifically to observe the
UV spectrum of nearby stars and galaxies. Where is the BEST location for
such a device?
