What state is the HALE telescope from?
The Hale telescope is at the Palomar Observatory, located in Mount Palomar, California.
List three to four of the most famous and advanced telescopes in use for space exploration?
The most famous terrestrial telescope is the 200-inch reflecting Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar near San Diego. This was for years the largest telescope in the world. The Keck Observatory high on the Hawaiian peak Mauna Kea is more modern. But my own personal favorite is the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton. If you live in the Silicon Valley, you can see the dome gleaming in the sun from almost anywhere in San Jose or Sunnyvale. The Lick Observatory is up a twisty windy little road, and the telescope isn't large by modern standards - but it is beautiful and historic. See the links for some other choices.
What famous telescopes are in the US?
Of conventional Telescopes the 200 Inch reflector at Mount Palomar also c alled the Hale telescope(from its designer) is probaly the top tube. for produc tion models there was an all-aluminum 72 Inch reflector in an altazimuth mount which was made by the then Kaiser aluminum corporation and was exhibited in the science section of Disneyland for many years, perhap still around. it resembed a mamoth theodolite.
Does the Vatican have telescopes on Mount Graham in Arizona?
Yes, the Vatican Observatory Research Group operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, one of the telescopes that is located at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona.
How far can the telescope on mount palomar see?
The telescopes on Mount Palomar, such as the Hale Telescope, can see objects over billions of light-years away. They have been instrumental in making numerous astronomical discoveries and observations of distant galaxies, stars, and celestial phenomena.

The Hale telescope is at the Palomar Observatory, located in Mount Palomar, California.
What is the comparison of the of the hubble telescope and mount palomar?
The Hubble Space Telescope is a space-based observatory launched in 1990, while Mount Palomar Observatory is a ground-based observatory located in California. Hubble can observe from above the Earth's atmosphere, providing clearer images in some wavelengths, while Mount Palomar has a larger mirror and can observe fainter objects in certain wavelengths but is limited by atmospheric interference. Both telescopes have contributed significantly to astronomical research and discoveries.
What contributions did the mayall telescope make to astronomy?
The 158-inch Mayall Telescope at the Kitt Peak Observatory isn't the largest telescope; it wasn't even the largest when it was built. (The 200-inch Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar is older.) It is used primarily for observations in the infrared spectrum.
Can anyone tell me the name of a ground based telescope that looks at visible light?
The Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar has an aperture of 200 inches.
Why does the hubble telescope generally still outperform the palomar telescope?
The Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar Observatory is much larger than the Hubble Space Telescope, but size is only one consideration among many. Mount Palomar is here on Earth, which has a thick atmosphere, and the atmosphere blocks a lot of the light - even on clear nights. And during the day, scattered sunlight prevents good astronomical observations. More specifically, Mount Palomar is fairly close to San Diego, CA, and the city lights of San Diego cause considerable light pollution. Weather, even the typically good San Diego weather, degrades observations. Aircraft sometimes fly overhead. The Hubble Space Telescope is in orbit. There's no atmosphere, no weather, no light pollution, and no atmospheric scattering - because it is above the atmosphere. The telescope may be smaller, but the observing conditions are MUCH better!

Is Mount Wilson Observatory same as Griffith Observatory?
No, Mount Wilson Observatory and Griffith Observatory are two distinct observatories in Los Angeles. Mount Wilson Observatory is located in the San Gabriel Mountains and is known for housing the Hooker Telescope, while Griffith Observatory is located in Griffith Park and is a popular public observatory with educational exhibits and planetarium shows.

Yes, the Vatican Observatory Research Group operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, one of the telescopes that is located at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona.
Where did hubble Edwin do his work at?
Edwin Hubble started his work at the University of Chicago, but he also spent some time a Oxford in England. He also founded the Mount Wilson Observatory in California and worked at the Mount Palomar Observatories, also in California.
