Snow makes it tricky to get to, but beautiful to look at. Thanks to our Deputy Director for Science, Dr. Michael West, for this great photo of the DCT. #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #northernarizona #arizona #happyjack #snow #discoverychanneltelescope #dct #telescope #science #space #astronomy

Sidewalks are clear after the big snowstorm so come up and visit! #lowellobservatory #Lowell #observatory #flagstaffaz #flagstaff #arizona #snow #science #space #astronomy

Just because, here is a picture of the Clark Telescope Dome in the snow for your viewing pleasure. #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaff #arizona #flagstaffaz #clarktelescope #telescope #science #space #astronomy #snow Photo Credit: Sarah Conant

Guests to Lowell continue to impress with their great shots of our Mars Hill campus. Here is a beautiful picture from back in May of the 16-in McAllister Telescope Dome by Michelle Williams of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. You can see more pictures she took on our Facebook page. Thanks Michelle for passing these along! #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaff #arizona #flagstaffaz #marshill #mcallistertelescope #telescope #science #space #astronomy

This photo of M42, otherwise known as the Orion Nebula, comes courtesy of one of our board members, Mike Beckage. Mike shares his love of astronomy by organizing outreach programs to the community and is extensively involved with amateur astronomy clubs in Southern California. #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaffaz #flagstaff #arizona #astrophotography #m42 #orionnebula #nebula #science #space #astronomy

Wanna take a peek at the Sun? We have you covered. With our special solar telescope we are able to allow guests to stare directly at the Sun! Come visit and see the Sun like never before. #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaff #arizona #flagstaffaz #solarviewing #solar #sun #snow #science #space #astronomy

A DCT engineer removes counterweights on Lowell’s DCT. This is just the beginning of the process to access the DCT’s mirror for re-aluminization. #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #dct #telescope #happyjack #arizona #science #space #astronomy #engineering #discoverychanneltelescope

A little local wildlife today at Lowell. We’ve got a hummingbird friend nesting in one the spruce trees on Mars Hill. #lowellobervatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaff #arizona #flagstaffaz #wildlife #localwildlife #hummingbird #nature #video #birdnest #summertime

According to Lowell Observatory’s Dr. Nick Moskovitz the meteor seen in the early morning hours of June 2nd in Arizona would have been slightly larger than first reported and because of the size there is a strong possibility that fragments of the meteor made it to Earth. The general location of these fragments are known to scientist who are attempting to collect some and hopefully learn a little more about its origin. These images were captured by several of our LOCAMS video cameras. #AZMeteor #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaffaz #flagstaff #arizona #meteor #science #space #astronomy

Did you know Commander Nick Moskovitz is a real person? Well, he’s not a Commander in real life, but he is an Astronomer at Lowell Observatory. Stop by our new exhibit and let Commander Nick guide you in all there is to know about asteroids. Space Guard Academy opens to the public tomorrow! #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaffaz flagstaff #Arizona #spaceguardacademy #science #space #astronomy #stem

So we have all these new Space Guard Academy stickers, and they are super cool! But we could not possibly find enough awesome places to stick them. So we have decided to give them away FREE! We have taken 100 of these stickers to our visitor center and told them the first 100 people to pay admission and visit the new exhibit gets one. The Space Guard Exhibit opens Sunday @ 10 a.m.! See you there. ‪#‎STEM‬ ‪#‎SpaceGuardAcademy‬‪ #lowellobservatory #lowell #observatory #flagstaffaz #flagstaff #arizona #science #space #astronomy #free

Art and science go hand in hand in the unique little mountain town we call home. #flagstaff #visitflagstaff
