“A space telescope that observes X-rays or gamma rays” is a question in OnlyClick, and our answer book knows 41 answers to it. The answers that come to mind first are Chandra, Fermi and Swift. They count, but they keep you close to the ground. It is a fairly short list: only 7 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
