The blue part below is six stories tall, the gray part is about ten and is home to the LBT (Large Binocular Telescope).
This is a rendering and helpful when looking at the picture below, because is was impossible to get good pictures of such a massive piece of machinery/technology. Quite a humbling and awe-inspiring project (it is not quite finished to what you see in the picture, but they are able to use it and learn with it... further updates will only make their research easier and better)
This is just one of the mirrors used in the telescope. It is almost 30 feet across!! That hole you see in the middle is three feet wide.
My pictures do not do any sort of justice to this work of science/art/technology. It was a really wonderful experience!
Peace and love.
