How big is the the largest telescope in North America? It is really BIG!

Spring Break 2024 road trip to eclipse totality in Texas!
April 3rd, day 5 of our 11 day trip, led us to the McDonald Observatory in Texas. It is the site of many very large telescopes and the 2nd largest in the world. The Hobby-Eberly Telescope is the largest in North America. We were unsuccessful in getting a guided tour of the facility but we were still able to do a self-guided tour. It was pretty impressive to see these large telescopes. The technology of them were a bit over y head but still impressive to see nevertheless.

Enjoy!
