| DESCRIPTION |
The Large Binocular Telescope Observatory is located on Mount Graham in Arizona and operates one of the world?s most powerful optical telescopes. It features two 8.4-meter mirrors mounted side-by-side on a single structure, effectively providing the resolution of a 22.8-meter telescope when used interferometrically. LBTO supports high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy across visible and infrared wavelengths and is used for a wide range of astrophysical studies, from planetary systems to distant galaxies. The observatory is a collaboration between institutions in the United States, Italy, and Germany.
