Our dedicated team, including student developers Cosmo Brusa Zappellini and Camryn Jones, is creating comprehensive 360° tours of two of Arizona’s most significant astronomical facilities. The Mount Graham International Observatory, home to the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), stands at an elevation of 10,700 feet and houses one of the world’s most advanced optical telescopes. Meanwhile, Kitt Peak National Observatory, with its iconic collection of 24 optical and two radio telescopes, has been at the forefront of astronomical research since 1958.

“From the twin 8.4-meter mirrors of Mount Graham’s LBT to Kitt Peak’s diverse array of research instruments, we’re making these astronomical wonders accessible to everyone through immersive virtual experiences.”
