Roque de los Muchachos La Palma

The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory lies atop the highest point on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. The seeing conditions for optical and infrared astronomy is one of the best in the Northern Hemisphere, alongwith the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii. The site also has some of the most extensive astronomical facilities which includes the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias, the world's largest single-aperture optical telescope and the William Herschel Telescope as also the adaptive optics corrected Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, which provides the highest resolution solar imaging of any telescope.
