Experience the universe up-close!
Experience the universe up-close with our state-of-the-art 24-inch Dyer Telescope. This private, personalized expedition across the stars offers an exclusive opportunity to view the cosmos through Lowell Observatory’s newest telescope. Because of the sophistication and speed of the 24-inch Dyer Telescope, our specially trained educators can offer you an impressive number and variety of celestial objects for viewing and will customize the experience to your interests.
This experience is a guided journey through the cosmos that allows you to choose your own destinations.** The 24-inch Dyer Telescope is a PlaneWave CDK24a, an f/6.5 Corrected Dall-Kirkham astrograph that offers an exceptionally sharp view of the sky.
At the telescope, an educator will show you the best the night sky has to offer—planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and more—and tell you about how stars evolve, what forms they take during their lifetimes, or how the rings of Saturn came to be. Outside of the telescope dome, your educator will use a high-powered laser to point out prominent stars and constellations while sharing epic tales of how the stars first formed.
**Barring any operational issues and weather permitting.
