where is the largest telescope located?

Assuming you are refering to optical telescopes, the Keck I and Keck II sit atop of Mauna Kea, Hawaii with aperture size of 10 meters apiece.

Hi, great question.  I got a new telescope a year ago and have found a couple of excellent sites.  First try 'skyandtelescope.com'  this site has several features including a sky chart.  Enter your info, and it gives hour by hour info on whats up there to see, as well as info on upcoming events.  It offers 'how to advice' for telescopes, binocs and  astro photography.\nThe second is 'astromart.com'   this is one of THE BEST and most helpfull sites I have been to.  What a great forum.  Several active members are well known scientists and professors as well as very knowledgeable amature astronomy buffs.  No question is to stupid for them and you won't find a better place to gain advice and knowledge.   Questions posted are answered very quickly, usually in no more then a few hours, sometimes immediately.  Try both of these, I'm sure you will find what you need.    They are both  free of charge, believe it or not!!!\n\nLet me know what you think,  my s/n on astromart is lilkritter!!  Good Luck!

The world's largest desert is located there!!\nCalled the Great Basin.

The observatory's 305-m radio telescope is the largest single-aperture telescope ever to be constructed. (Compare "multiple aperture telescope".) It carries out three major areas of research: radio astronomy, aeronomy (using both the 305-m telescope and the observatory's lidar facility), and radar observations of solar system objects. Usage of the telescope is gained by submitting proposals to an independent board of referees.\n\nThe telescope is visually distinctive and has been used in the filming of two notable motion pictures: as the villain's antenna in the James Bond movie GoldenEye and as itself in the film Contact. The telescope received additional international recognition in 1999 when it began to collect data for the SETI@home project.

No you would not be able to see them through the largest telescope on earth because they are too small an object to be  seen. You can see the area on the moon where they are very well and clear but not the lunar rovers.

Proxima Centauri was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes while he was Director of the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Largest Windows\nThe largest windows in the world are those in the Palace of Industry and Technology at Rondpoint de la Défense, Paris, France. The three matching windows, made up of a large number of panes of glass, have an extreme width of 218 m (715 ft) and a maximum height of 50 m (164 ft).\n\nThe whopping windows are each bigger than your average house, and this building boasts three of them! When France's Palace of Industry and Technology was being built during the late 1950s, it was described by many as the "construction of the century" – largely thanks to its imposing glass fascias. French novelist and politician André Malraux was so impressed with the enormous windows, he was moved to say, "We have seen nothing like it since the great Gothic cathedrals!"

There's no one best telescope; it depends on what you want to do with the scope. How much you're willing to pay enters into it too - you can easily spend $100,000 or more if you want to.\n\nStarmaster ( http://www.starmastertelescopes.com/ ) makes excellent large dobsonians, available with computer control if you want. Or, a  Schmidt-Cassegrain (or the similar Meade RCX) makes a good general-purpose scope. \n\nAs uncertain as you are, you would benefit from some hands-on exposure to telescopes. Seek out your nearest astronomy club,  at http://skytonight.com/community/organizations and get to some star parties. One of the large regional star parties will expose you to a broad range of amateur equipment ( http://skytonight.com/news/3306276.html ).\n\nPermit requirements for an observatory will vary with the scope of your plans and local regulations. Generally, an observatory would be in a similar category to a small workshop.

At the nearest celestial observatory.  Y'may have to drive a few hours and walk a ways, but many of them do allow public tours.  Call ahead and ask.  Those connected with Cal Tech used to be particularly happy to have visitors.\n\nWhat'll happen is, they'll show you around the observatory, tell you what projects they're working on and give you an idea of why it's important.  They'll allow you to view whatever their telescopes are looking at during your visit.  Those images will in most cases be displayed on a computer screen.  Some observatories, but not all, will have one or more optical telescopes that they'll let you look through to get a direct look at whatever they're focussed on during your visit.  \n\nAlternatively, some amateur astronomers will let you take a peek through their own telescopes.  A favorite way of getting the public involved is to host a "star party".  That's usually where an astronomy club invites the public to come to a park or the beach where club members bring their instruments to show off to the public.  Some of them will have dozens of instruments you can get a good look at.\n\nThe reason for this is, no matter where on earth you go, you cannot see much more than about ten thousand stars from any vantage point, whereas even a modest telescope can show you many times that number by allowing you to view celestial objects that are too dim or too close together to be seen by the unaided human eye.\n\nGo for it!  It's fun!

Nice to see an Indian on here!! I'm an Indian too! Maharashtrian and mainly from Pune city. Yeah, you can get telescopes in India and the prices do vary dependent upon the power it has. An average telescope that can allow you to study the solar system in a glance is available at Rs. 7000. I saw one in an exhibiton, but sorry can't really specify where you can get it. Give me your mail id and if i find anyone selling it, I'll give you the whole details. why don't you make one?? that's a great idea, cause i have made one myself that is as cheap as Rs. 500!!

Do you know the aperture and what kind of a telescope it is, or where it is made?\n\nI've attempted several web searches and cannot find any "Novus" brand telescope. Is this something you got off of eBay? Because I hope you didn't pay very much for it. It is more than likely that it is toy junk.\n\nGood luck. Add more details to your question and you might get more info.

The farthest thing you can reliably see is the Andromeda Galaxy, which is about 2.5 light years away.

Sure, it's possible. But you won't see any artifacts there. Even the largest telescope on earth does not have the resolution to see a 10 meter spacecraft from a distance of 350,000 km.\n\nAn object that size at that distance subtends an arc of .005 arcseconds. Both Hubble and Keck (the best telescopes on or near earth) have a resolution limit of about .05 arcseconds.
