Telescope applications; EHT; FAST; LBTI.Abstract
As technology continuously advances, the telescope technologies available to humans are becoming increasingly refined, leading to the discovery of an ever-growing number of phenomena using these telescopes. This allows for a deeper understanding of the universe one inhabits, with more astronomical phenomena receiving scientific explanations. This article primarily seeks to broaden our knowledge in this area by describing three distinct astronomical telescopes. It introduces the components and detection principles of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), FAST, and the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). Additionally, this study delves into the primary research objectives, pivotal scientific domains, and ongoing projects of these three telescopes. Moreover, at the conclusion of each section, this study discusses their recent observational results or some noteworthy astronomical phenomena. According to the three examples presented in this article, the aim is to enhance people's understanding of astronomical telescopes and to inspire more individuals to take an interest in the advancements of astrophysics.
