Professor Arlo U. Landolt from Louisiana State University regulates the temperature of the 2.1-m telescope at Kitt Peak. Landolt prepared the telescope for use despite the rainy conditions in hopes of being able to do more research on his final night with the telescope. He was allotted 6 1/2 nights with the telescope.
Landolt's research focuses on stellar photometry. Read about his research here.

The Sky Island Alliance is sharing snapshots of a northern jaguar in Sonora.
Here's the background from SIA's Sergio Avila:
Almost one year after Macho B’s tragic death in Arizona, Sky Island Alliance (SIA) released today its first photographs of a northern jaguar in the Mexican State of Sonora. Three years into a conservationist-rancher partnership, a jaguar was photographed by a remote camera placed along an isolated canyon of the Sonoran Sky Islands. These are SIA’s first photographs of this elusive cat, and were taken only thirty miles south of the US/Mexico border.
“Northern jaguars are a reality and they want to stay” said Sky Island Alliance biologist Sergio Avila. “Jaguars don’t recognize political boundaries; instead they choose robust prey populations, open space and safe corridors. This healthy feline represents our chance to recover this species in the region.”
