Lowell Observatory Pluto Dome
Product Description
The so-called Pluto Dome in Flagstaff, Arizona is one of several buildings at the Lowell Observatory, among the oldest observatories in the United States. It was established in 1894 by the amateur astronomer Percival Lowell who popularized the belief that Mars was home to an intelligent, technologically advanced civilization. Over the years Lowell Observatory has been responsible for major galactic discoveries, notably the discovery of Pluto. Although Lowell himself did not live long enough to confirm the suspected existence of a ninth planet, 26-year-old Clyde Tombaugh made the discovery in 1930, using Lowellās research and the 13-inch telescope donated by Lowellās brother.
