Funding Astronomical Exploration

Using world-class instruments like the 4.3-meter Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) and the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI), Lowell Observatory’s astronomers are at the forefront of astronomical discovery. As they study the mysteries of the cosmos, they maintain a long-standing commitment to sharing discoveries with everyone–professional peers, the general public, and the next generation of scientists. 

Lowell is a unique place in that it offers public access to scientists and the discoveries that are made right here. When you donate to support astronomical discovery at Lowell, you’re not just helping us continue to make these incredible breakthroughs possible—you’re also helping to inspire a new generation of researchers and astronomers.
