AAT (Anglo-Australian Telescope)

The Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) is a large, professional-grade observatory located in Australia, used by astronomers to study the universe. It has a primary mirror about 3.9 meters in diameter, which collects and focuses light from stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. Equipped with advanced instruments, the AAT enables detailed observations and measurements, helping scientists understand cosmic phenomena, the structure of the universe, and the life cycle of stars. Its location in the Southern Hemisphere provides access to parts of the sky not visible from northern observatories, making it a valuable tool for astronomical research.
