Astronomical Observatory
Since its foundation in 1894, Lowell Observatory has served as a place of wonder and discovery for visitors from all over the world. Lowell’s location in Flagstaff, Arizona, the world’s first International Dark Sky City, provides breathtaking views of the cosmos through telescopes as well as with the naked eye. On clear nights, gaze at the moon, planets or deep-space objects through the giant Clark Refractor, built in 1896, or through the six cutting-edge telescopes of the Giovale Open Deck Observatory. The 40,000-square-foot Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center is NOW OPEN, featuring an outdoor planetarium, an immersive theater, a children’s exhibit hall, an outdoor planetarium, a café, and more. Each section of the Discovery Center is designed with the intention of inspiring awe, wonder, and open-mindedness. Lowell provides a number of talks and tours that cover topics from the observatory’s own history to current astronomical research.
