Ohio State University officials have begun negotiations to become partners in two major observatories, one of which will house the world's largest telescope on a single mount. Ohio State intends to buy a one-eighth share in the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) now being built now on Mount Graham in southern Arizona. The university also wants to become a partner in the Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT (MDM) Observatory located at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. The deal would give Ohio State faculty and students access to the three modern telescopes.
