Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) is the premier university-based solar observatory in the United States. It is operated by New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). BBSO features the most powerful solar telescope in the world – the 1.6 m clear aperture Goode Solar Telescope (GST), which has no obscuration in the optical train. Light corrected by adaptive optics is fed to either the visible (VIS) or near-infrared (NIRIS) spectro-polarimeter. Additionally, uncorrected light can be fed to a cryogenic spectrograph (CYRA) operating out to wavelengths of 5 microns. BBSO also operates full-disk patrol telescopes. The telescopes and instruments at the observatory are designed and employed specifically for studying the activities and phenomena of the Sun.
