Lowell Observatory
Lowell Observatory is an astronomical observatory and nonprofit research institute located in Flagstaff, Arizona, that has connected people to the universe through education, exploration, and discovery for over 125 years.
Percival Lowell established his observatory atop a mesa overlooking downtown Flagstaff on May 28, 1894, initially to study Mars and the possibility of intelligent life there. Since that time, Lowell astronomers have been at the forefront of astronomical research. It was here that Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 and V.M. Slipher first detected the expanding nature of the universe nearly two decades earlier.
That tradition continues today with the observatory’s state-of-the-art Lowell Discovery Telescope and the ongoing discoveries being made by the current generation of Lowell astronomers and planetary scientists.
In recognition of Lowell’s heritage of science, education, culture, and history, the observatory was designated a Registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service in 1965 and named by Time magazine in 2011 as one of “The World’s 100 Most Important Places.”

Native American Astronomy Outreach Program
Native Americans are highly underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields – the U.S. Department of Education reports that less than half of native students have access to the full range of math and science courses.
Lowell Observatory’s Native American Astronomy Outreach Program (NAAOP) has been working to enhance STEM education in native classrooms since its founding by Lowell astronomers Dr. Amanda Bosh and Dr. Deidre Hunter more than 25 years ago.
NAAOP pairs Lowell astronomers and educators with elementary and secondary school teachers from several native peoples in Northern Arizona to create a fun and engaging science curriculum. The program gives students the tools to succeed in school and gets them excited about astronomy and science in general, encouraging an interest in STEM careers.
