Kitt Peak National Observatory

Curated by ACT

Homepage of Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) which is the one of the premier astronomical observatory used by professional astronomers in the United States. Although the site is mostly geared toward the professional, the Kitt Peak Tour Information gives great information from the visitor center including a virtual tour (giving history and telescope information), pictures taken at the observatory and links to other observatories in the southwest. Be sure to take the "Virtual Tour"!!! Undergraduate summer internship information available.
