Workers clean a mirror at the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab on the campus of the University of Arizona.
Some of the world’s most astounding science projects are taking place under the east wing of Arizona Stadium, and you’re invited to visit. The Steward Observatory Mirror Lab produces powerful astronomical mirrors for use in optical and infrared telescopes, allowing scientists a peek at infant galaxies. Just last week, the 27-foot Large Synoptic Survey Telescope mirror, which will survey the universe from a Chilean mountaintop, rolled out of the building. Public tour times and dates vary.
