Liverpool Telescope, Robotic telescope at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, Spain
The Liverpool Telescope, measuring 2 meters in diameter, stands at an elevation of 2363 meters on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands.
The telescope started its operations in 2004 after extensive development, marking a new era in automated astronomical observation systems at the Roque de los Muchachos facility.
Scientists from multiple nations collaborate through this telescope to study astronomical phenomena, contributing to international space research and education programs.
The telescope performs automated observations of astronomical events without human intervention, operating continuously to capture data about supernovae and gamma-ray bursts.
Located in an area with minimal light pollution and stable atmospheric conditions, the telescope conducts rapid-response observations of temporary astronomical phenomena.
