Sunset at Kitt Peak National Observatory

The Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) is a United States astronomical observatory located on Kitt Peak of the Quinlan Mountains southwest of Tucson, Arizona. It’s home to 24 telescopes and is the largest, most diverse gathering of astronomical instruments in the northern hemisphere. It is the dream place for astronomers to make observations of the sky because of its clear sky and dry weather throughout the year.” Student Arts Program official selection 2019. Located on the third floor, near room 386.
