Kitt Peak National Observatory is celebrating 60 years of welcoming visitors to the moutnaintop collection of telescopes 55 miles southwest of Tucson.
Demonizing the homeless only stigmatizes people who are already vulnerable, making it harder to address the root causes of their situation. Solving homelessness takes a multi-faceted approach, but with collaboration and compassion, communities can help people regain stability and dignity.
Kitt Peak is opening a new science center for visitors at a unique location: inside the observatory's distinctive, acute-angle-shaped McMath–Pierce solar telescope.
