ADC Cosmic Images

Sponsorship Opportunities

Be a Part of the New Astronomy Discovery Center

Space is beautiful! Our faculty use telescopes equipped with powerful cameras to capture stunning images of the cosmos and we want to share these with ADC visitors!

Throughout the ADC we will display 4’ X 4’ murals of astronomical objects taken by Lowell astronomers and researchers. The incredible detail of objects like the Horsehead Nebula will open visitors’ minds to the beauty of our universe.

Mural locations include (click to enlarge images in a new tab):

  • Level 1 Universe Theater Corridor
  • Level 2 Corridor
  • Level 3 Exit to Dark Sky Planetarium
