The page lists the Steward Observatory as a telescope on Kitt Peak. This is not correct. The Steward Observatory is a organizational unit at the University of Arizona which operates telescopes in various locations, including the 12-m telescope on Kitt Peak. Unfortunately, the Steward Obs page is a stub, and there doesn't seem to be a 12-m telescope page. -- zandperl 01:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC) reply

I added a section about the leasing of the site from the Tohono O'odham. I took it from the page about them. It is relevant since their is an ongoing controversy about the use of sacred lands for the observatory. malatesta 21:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Found the updated link. -- Lasunncty ( talk) 19:19, 13 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Although not very uplifting, apparently an unusual death occurred at the observatory in 1987. The only reference I have seen is /info/en/?search=List_of_unusual_deaths. Some mention could be added to the article. SquashEngineer ( talk) 13:32, 7 June 2022 (UTC) Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot ( Report bug) 10:14, 11 December 2017 (UTC) reply
