Why do astronomical telescopes have big apertures?

Astronomical telescopes have big apertures to collect more light from distant objects in space. Larger apertures allow telescopes to gather more photons, resulting in brighter and more detailed images of celestial objects. This helps astronomers see fainter objects, study them in more detail, and gather more information about the universe.
