Lowell-observatoriet

Lowell-observatoriet er eit astronomisk observatorium i Flagstaff i Arizona i USA. Lowell-observatoriet vart grunnlagd i 1894 og er av dei eldste i USA. Det fekk status som National Historic Landmark i 1965. I 2011 vart observatoriet kåra til ein av dei 100 viktigaste stadane i verda av magasinet TIME.

Observatoriet ligg 2200 meter over havet. Opphavleg vart det bygd for studiet av Mars, men observasjonsprogrammet vart snart utvida til òg å omfatte dei andre planetane. Arbeidsfeltet har seinare ekspandert ytterlegare, og det er blitt utført viktige undersøkingar, mellom anna over galaksar.

Very interesting and cool place to spend a few hours in the evening learning about the night sky. You get to look through some very large telescopes at the skies above. Great volunteers, too!

Great place to walk and learn about the stars. If you want to join their membership your entry fee will be taken off the membership price. You can return at night with day attendance.

Buy a family membership for 60.00. It's well worth it and works at tons of other places in US. You can visit this place several times and learn something new each time.

Great staff. Very knowledgeable about the facility and anything space. They have interactive kid shows available. Go during the early evening to enjoy the stuff that does not require darkness.

Cool place to look through telescopes in the evening. My favorite was looking at the moon in detail. The presentations/talks could have been better, though.
