Large observatory telescopes require special low-temperature lubricants because they often operate in cold mountain locations or even at freezing temperatures. Regular oils would become too thick and affect the telescope's ability to smoothly track stars across the sky. Some observatories use synthetic oils that remain fluid even at -40°C, ensuring astronomers can precisely follow distant galaxies for hours-long exposures.
