A private, non-profit research institution founded in 1894 by Percival Lowell, Lowell Observatory is among the oldest observatories in the United States and is a Registered National Historic Landmark. The Observatory's original 24-inch Alvan Clark Telescope is still in use today for public education. The 4.3-meter, $53 million Discovery Channel Telescope is the flagship instrument for our second century of discovery.
