Jeff's U.S. Astro. Tour Blog

This blog is a chronicle of my trip through 4 states of the U.S. to visit astronomical observatories and places of scientific significance. For a science nut like me this is very exciting and maybe there will be some things you'll find interesting too?

Lowell Observatory

The last observatory on my tour is Lowell. I saw several of their telescopes and their instruments including a great spectrograph.

The telescope that discovered Pluto ...

and it's cool wooden and stone dome.

Now off to Phoenix and the trip home.

Cheers,
Jeff
