Abstract

As a matter of fact, the advancement of astronomical technology has enabled unprecedented observations of the universe in recent decades. With this in mind, this study explores the principles, instrumentation, and landmark discoveries of three major state-of-the-art telescopes, i.e., FAST, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). To be specific, each facility represents a unique approach to astronomical observation, from large single-dish radio detection to global interferometry and deep-space infrared imaging. FAST has revolutionized pulsar and FRB research, while the EHT captured the first image of a black hole, confirming predictions of general relativity. At the same time, JWST is unravelling the early universe and characterizing exoplanet atmospheres. According to the analysis, comparative analysis highlights the complementary strengths of these observatories and discusses the technological and observational limitations they face. Overall, the study concludes with prospects for future telescope development and the broader significance of these facilities in advancing cosmic understanding.
