The Lowell Discovery Telescope is an ideal tool for exploring galactic building blocks such as stars that have been ripped apart from their home group. Lowell Observatory’s Director of Technology Dr. Kyler Kuehn will join Lowell Historian Kevin Schindler to discuss dismembered star clusters, stellar streams, and more.

The massive primary mirror of the Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) measures 14 feet in diameter by 4 inches thick. Yet its critical reflective layer is only 100 nanometers thick—1,000 times thinner than typical photocopy paper! This aluminum skin must be periodically replaced, a painstaking process that takes weeks to complete. Tonight, LDT Engineering Manager Frank […]

We've got a special Astronomy on Tap livestream this month with Astronomy on Tap Seattle! They will be featuring scientists from Lowell Observatory at Bickersons Brewhouse in Seattle, Washington! First, Dr. Jeff Hall will talk about Pluto's discovery, what's been going on since then, and its tie to the Lowell Observatory. Then, Dr. Moskovitz will […]

For millennia, humans have asked the question, “Are we alone?" One step in answering this question involves searching for and studying exoplanets—planets around stars other than our Sun. The Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) is ideal for such a study. One project, for instance, combines the power of the LDT with a Yale University-built instrument called […]

Join Lowell Observatory educators at the Giovale Open Deck Observatory (https://lowell.edu/godo), at 8PM MST for a guided, interactive observing session. After showcasing some planned celestial objects through our 14" PlaneWave CDK telescope, we’ll let you choose which objects to see next via YouTube's chat function. It's stargazing, reimagined. *Note: Programming may be canceled due to […]
