Most of the constellations you can see are several hundred light-years away.

Astronomers have two goals: Gather as much light as possible from faint things like galaxies.

It’s much cheaper and simpler to control one telescope instead of two .

Binoculars work best at distances that aren’t too big compared to how far apart their lenses are.

The Large Binocular Telescope will be able to act much like your eyes and brain to create incredibly sharp images of objects that are extremely faint.

It uses a pair of identical 8.2-meter diameter telescopes about the biggest mirrors that can be made on a single mount.
