At 5.1 m, the Hale Telescope became the largest effective telescope in the world when it was engineered in 1948, and it remained so for more than 25 years after. As such, it has played a pivotal role in our understanding of our solar system, other solar systems, and the galaxies beyond. It remains highly active as a research telescope thanks to the addition of adaptive optics in 1999, as well as new instruments like the Cosmic Web Imager (CWI), a UV-VIS imaging integral-field spectrograph.
