In Part I of the LBT, iMix visits the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory high atop Mt. Graham outside of Safford, AZ. Here at the largest telescope in the world, Ohio State University faculty and students have an opportunity to study the Universe like never before. The 600-ton telescope is the result of an international partnership of universities and research groups. In Part 2 of the LBT, iMix learns about the day-to-day operations at the world's largest binocular telescope and the living conditions of the astronomers who visit.
