Kitt Peak Observatory


I spent a day driving into Arizona and relaxing into Tucson. Over the last two days I have been visiting Kitt Peak Observatory.

I spent most of the day touring the world's largest solar telescope and filming the adaptive optics system.

The next day I visited the University of Arizona and the Astronomy educators there. Then I went back to Kitt Peak for the night tour (watching the sunset).

The telescopes came to life around us.

We enjoyed some great views.

Off to Whipple observatory tomorrow and then on to Flagstaff.
