Lowell body is interned a short distance from his 24-inch telescope.

If you love science and the stars, you need to visit this place.

I managed to not squeal like a little girl. Barely.

Pluto was discovered using this telescope, i.e. the astrograph within this protective dome building.

Lowell Observatory; Flagstaff, Arizona.

At 34, I looked through a proper telescope for the first time and saw Saturn and its rings.

Check out the ceiling light!

Absolutely incredible.

Jason was our Lowell Observatory "educator." He got to talking techy telescope stuff with Gary and kept losing track of time. Really nice guy.

We got to take a look at the moon through this, the famous Clark Telescope!

Lowell kept banging his head on the handle while taking late night exposures, so he brought in his boxing glove for padding.

You can help but learn something new by visiting.

There were any number of cables and telegrams with suggestions on what to call Pluto before it was so named.

Pluto was discovered here.

Looking thru the scope during the day - yes you can view stars during the day!

That's my husband next to the sign you see as you enter the Lowell campus.

Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona - Exterior view of the building that houses the Clark Telescope. Unfortunately, it was closed due to ongoing renovations. The Clark telescope was built in 1896 and the dome is the oldest standing structure on site.

The photo does not do it justice. The thing is big.
