For some, exploring the unknown is a lifelong pursuit, asking questions man hasn’t been able to answer for as long as history has been recorded. You have only to tilt your head to the stars to begin formulating these questions. In instances such as this, astronomers are at the forefront of exploration. And while most of us haven’t made a career of such deep thought and complicated mathematics, that doesn’t mean we can’t make our own discoveries of the universe. One of the best ways to do that is to hang out with astronomers for a night at one of their prized sites, Kitt Peak National Observatory, south of Tucson, Arizona. Go there and chances are you’ll walk away in wonder, at peace, and feeling you have discovered a whole new universe.
