Trip to Lowell Discovery Telescope: October 2023
When the Lowell
Discovery Telescope first opened, there was an open house as part of
the Flagstaff Festival of Science.
Unfortunately, I missed it, and there hasn't been another open house
since then. Just this year, they started offering guided tours, and
finally I was able to go on one.
Sunday, October 1
Maintenance shop where the mirror is resurfaced every 5-6 years. Note
the rail car used to transport the mirror.
