Large telescopes

Large telescopes are advanced optical instruments designed to observe distant celestial objects, such as stars, galaxies, and planets. Their size allows them to gather more light than smaller telescopes, enabling clearer and more detailed images. Typically, they use mirrors or lenses to focus light and can be ground-based or space-based, like the Hubble Space Telescope. Larger telescopes can detect fainter objects and provide valuable data for astronomers, contributing to our understanding of the universe's structure, origins, and evolution. Key examples include the Keck Observatory and the Gran Telescopio Canarias.
