Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff

Posted 1 year ago by avatar krystyna in response to waheed's question: I want to see the observatory where they discovered Pluto in Flagstaff. Where to? (give a different answer) .

Oh, yes, that's right. In 1930, Pluto was discovered at Lowell Observatory, on W. Mars Hill from Flagstaff. You can ask to stare through the 24-inch telescope, but you have to call for arrangements at 520/774 - 2096. They also have a mini-museum inside with display on astronomy. Prepare 3 bucks for the telescope evening.
