Kitt Peak National Observatory
Description
Southern Arizona's clear skies are ideal to host the world's largest observatory. Located 56 miles southwest of Tucson on top of a rugged mountain range, Kitt Peak features the world's largest collection of telescopes and frequently contributes to important astronomical discoveries. The observatory is open to the public.
The night tours are EXCELLENT. Looking through the 21" telescope at amazing start clusters really gave me a nice perspective on how small we are in the universe. The tour was entertaining and worth every cent.
