Scientific paper

Since its inception in 1958, Kitt Peak has served as the U.S. national center for nighttime astronomy and daytime studies of the Sun. The Kitt Peak Visitor Center, constructed in 1964, serves as the hub for the thousands of visitors each year who come to explore "their" national observatory. For over 40 years, the visitor center has functioned as part-museum, part-interpretive center, and part-comfort station, along with transitory functions as an auditorium, classroom and media center. More than 2 million people have come to learn about the science, history, and mission of Kitt Peak National Observatory, NOAO, AURA, and the National Science Foundation http://www.noao.edu/outreach/kpoutreach.html.
