. The McMath–Pierce solar telescope, the largest of its kind, is a reflecting solar telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. The building was designed by famed architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Myron Goldsmith and built in 1962. At the top of the main tower is a large heliostat, a device found in concentrated solar plants and solar cooking appliances for keeping sunlight directed at a specific target.

The world's largest solar observatory, the U.S. National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, just released its first image of a sunspot. Although the telescope is still in the final phases of completion, the image is an indication of how the telescope's advanced optics and four-meter primary mirror will give scientists the best view of the Sun from Earth throughout the next solar cycle.

The Big Wobble Almanac : MONSTER SUNSPOT: Turning Our Way! The biggest sunspot of the current solar cycle is turning toward Earth. This morning when astronomer Karzaman Ahmad of Malaysia's Langkawi National Observatory looked through the eyepiece of his solar telescope, he declared AR2192 a "monster" and snapped this picture:

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) is under development on Haleakalā – the highest peak on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is funding the facility, which is under development by the National Solar Observatory (NSO) based in Boulder, Colorado.
