Since The 1890's @PercivalLowell Has Been Dancing with the Stars!

While I often look to the future, I also realize the importance of embracing and celebrating the past! This wonderful Documentary about the Lowell Observatory addresses both. Although I'm not sure that the Mars civilization theory has been "laid to rest"

"In the 1890s, astronomer Percival Lowell created a public sensation by declaring that strange markings on Mars were created by an advanced civilization.   While that theory has been laid to rest, other discoveries made at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, continue to reshape our view of the universe: It was here that Scientist first discovered Pluto, refined the big bang theory and mapped our moon for the Apollo missions.   Join the Discovery Channel as 'Stargazers' celebrates 100 years of scientific exploration at the Lowell Observatory."

Lowell Observatory's Mission is to "pursue the study of astronomy, especially the study of our solar system and its evolution; to conduct pure research in astronomical phenomena; and to maintain quality public education and outreach programs to bring the results of astronomical research to the general public."
