Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, AZ
The Lowell Observatory is a research facility located in Flagstaff, Arizona that has been at the forefront of astronomical research for over a century. Founded in 1894 by Percival Lowell, it is best known for its discovery of Pluto and its ongoing investigation into comets, asteroids, and other astronomical objects. Furthermore, the observatory was home to some of the earliest studies into dark matter and dark energy.
The observatory consists of several domes housing state-of-the-art telescopes that are used to observe deep space phenomena such as galaxies, stars, planets, and comets. In addition to these instruments, the facility has an extensive library of books and materials relating to astronomy. The facility also houses a planetarium where guests can learn about astronomy and view various star constellations within their indoor environment.
The observatory offers public viewing nights throughout the year where visitors can look through their historic telescopes or use their modern digital cameras to capture images of distant galaxies or star clusters. Additionally, there are regular educational programs offered for children and families such as star parties or lectures from experts in the field of astronomy.
Lowell Observatory is home to many important discoveries including being the first to discover that certain objects beyond Neptune exist (eventually leading to the planet Pluto), discovering Charon (Pluto’s moon), showing evidence for dark matter and dark energy, showing possible evidence for life on Mars, providing information about our Solar System's edge and much more. It is an important institution that continues to push forward our understanding of outer space even today.
