Puzzle Description:

The radio telescope on Mt. Graham east of Tucson, being moved into position to capture images of astronomical phenomena, somewhere out there.

The image does not do it justice. The photo shows the details:

What is best though is to visit in person. Mt. Graham is accessible by Swift Trail, which used to be a winding bumpy dirt road, with no camp site facilities. Now the road is paved and the observatory has become a tourist attraction.

Researchers from the University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research have discovered living trees that date back to AD 1257 and 1270. Botanists say the Douglas-fir has survived because the rocky cliffs of the mountains have served as a fire barrier.

What is really cool is that this Submillimeter Telescope helped scientists determine that there really is a black hole at the center of our galaxy. Read about this revelation and how the radio telescope works in this 2008 news article:

Thanks for a very informative entry.

I guess you have to know what you are looking at. To me it is a very confusing design. Fun to learn about the telescope.

That's why I give you the link so you can see what it is supposed to look like. :-) If the grid were larger, I could design finer detail. I promise my next one will be very easy to recognize.

Thanks, Adam.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Ditto #6 on the logic.

that must be some sight to see. fun puzzle.

Curioso puzzle. Me encantaría poder ir al monte Graham y que me dejaran mirar por el telescopio.

Mira más de cerca.
