12.5-meter telescope

A 12.5-meter telescope has a primary mirror that is 12.5 meters (about 41 feet) across, allowing it to collect more light and see fainter objects than smaller telescopes. This large size improves its ability to observe distant stars, galaxies, and other celestial phenomena with greater detail and clarity. Such telescopes are often used in advanced astronomical research, including studying the universe's origins, tracking exoplanets, and examining cosmic structures. The bigger the mirror, the more it can gather light, making it a powerful tool for exploring the universe in depth.
