The Largest Binocular Telescope in the world

Just recently I read an article about the largest Binocular Telescope in the world. After more than two decades of its construction and design, this Binocular finally became operational in January of this year. It's considered to be the marvel of modern engineering, and is situated atop Mount Graham, AZ, 10,500 feet above the Chihuahuan desert. The Largest $120 million Binocular Telescope is equipped with a pair of 27.6 foot mirrors, and image-correcting electronics. The resolution of this Binoculars is unmatched by any other optical telescope on Earth or in heavens, even including the Hubble Space Telescope.
