“Large Binocular Telescope” is copyrighted by Stefan Seip. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) stands against a starry sky on Mount Graham, Arizona. This unique observatory uses two 8.4-meter mirrors side-by-side on a single mount. This design allows it to gather as much light as a single 11.8-meter mirror, providing incredibly detailed views of the cosmos.
