On 30 August 2026, NSF NOIRLab Audiovisual Ambassador Hernán Stockebrand captured this view of Tucson, Arizona, after sunset. On the far right, peeking up over the Quinlan Mountains, is the NSF Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at NSF Kitt Peak National Observatory, a Program of NSF NOIRLab. The different angle of this view was a NOIRLab Image of the Week, and a labelled version of that image can be found here.
