Currently, the largest optical telescope is the Gran Telescopio Canarias in the Canary Islands, Spain.
The largest visible light telescopes are now all ground-based, such as the Keck Observatory in Hawaii or the Very Large Telescope in Chile. These telescopes provide high-resolution images and data of celestial objects in visible light.

No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.
The galaxy MACS0647-JD is 13.3 billion light-years away from the Earth and was visible to the Hubble Space Telescope.

Yes. The Hubble Space Telescope is frequently visible in the evening skies as it passes overhead.
-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.

No, Hubble Space Telescope uses a variety of wavelengths to observe the universe, including ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. This allows it to capture a wide range of astronomical phenomena and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cosmos.
Object that only shine with radio waves and not in the visible spectrum an object hidden by dust that block visible light.
