The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) is a state-of-the-art optical telescope located on Mount Graham in Arizona, USA. It consists of two 8.4-meter primary mirrors mounted side-by-side on a single mount, which effectively creates a single telescope with the light-gathering power of an 11.8-meter mirror. The LBT is one of the largest and most advanced telescopes in the world, allowing astronomers to study a wide range of astronomical phenomena with unprecedented detail and clarity. Its unique design and cutting-edge technology make it a valuable tool for research in areas such as cosmology, galactic astronomy, planetary science, and more.
