AMADO, Ariz.—As the stars come out over the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory, high in southern Arizona’s Santa Rita Mountains, new worlds are waiting to be discovered.
At the observatory, scientists seek out and study black holes, faraway galaxies, strong bursts of gamma rays, planets that orbit other stars, and many other things.
