Lowell Observatory

US astronomical observatory founded by Percival Lowell at Flagstaff, Arizona, with a 61-cm/24-in refractor opened in 1896. The observatory now operates other telescopes at a nearby site on Anderson Mesa, including the 1.83-m/72-in Perkins reflector of Ohio State and Ohio Wesleyan universities. In 2003, it announced a joint project with Discovery Communications to build a 4-metre telescope called the Discovery Channel Telescope for ultrawide field images and spectroscopy. The instrument is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2006.
