International Telescopes

International telescopes are observatories located around the world, often in collaboration between multiple countries, to study the universe. They include ground-based telescopes on mountains or remote locations and space telescopes orbiting Earth. These instruments gather various types of light—visible, infrared, radio—to explore stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic phenomena. By working together across different locations and technologies, international efforts enhance our ability to observe the universe in greater detail, helping scientists answer fundamental questions about the cosmos's origin, structure, and future.
