Astrophotography Course

Take the first step in your astrophotography journey with an intensive course at Lowell Observatory! At the end of the course, you’ll take home digital copies of the two images and all of the raw data to use as you like, as well as additional resources to aid you in your astrophotography journey!

Solar System

Planetary scientists continue a long tradition of studying bodies in the solar system, including the Sun, planets, moons, comets, meteors, asteroids, and Kuiper belt objects.

Stellar Astrophysics

Another longstanding tradition at Lowell is the study of stars, from supermassive Wolf-Rayet stars to low-mass M-dwarf varieties.

Exoplanetary Systems

Lowell astronomers search for distant worlds around other stars and characterize their nature.

Galactic & Extragalactic Astronomy

V. M. Slipher’s observations of the redshifts of galaxies a century ago were the first evidence for the expansion of the universe. Research on structures of galaxies and of the universe continues at Lowell today.

Instrumentation Research & Development

Our instrumentation team carries out a variety of work in support of research instrumentation, outreach telescopes, and historic preservation projects.
