Telescope facilities are specialized locations equipped with telescopes for observing celestial objects. These facilities can be found around the world, often situated in remote areas to minimize light pollution. They may include optical telescopes, which use lenses or mirrors to gather light, and radio telescopes, which detect radio waves from space. Many telescope facilities are part of larger research institutions, such as NASA or the European Southern Observatory. They play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the universe by allowing astronomers to study stars, planets, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena.
