   Extractions: Percival Lowell Born a wealthy Boston aristocrat, Percival Lowell was an amateur astronomer passionately committed to finding proof of intelligent life on Mars. In 1894, the people of Flagstaff, Arizona welcomed Lowell and his dream to build an astronomical research observatory atop Mars Hill. Lowell's observatory would begin the now long-standing tradition of astronomical discovery in Arizona. More than a century later, Lowell Observatory is one of the largest privately operated non-profit astronomical research observatories in the world. Lowell graduated from Harvard in 1876 with distinction in mathematics. He came from a well-known family; his brother, Abbott, was president of Harvard and his sister, Amy, was a famous poet and critic who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1926. Percival Lowell traveled extensively in the Orient before he finally decided on a career in astronomy. In 1894, he founded an observatory that would change the course of astronomy. Atop Mars Hill, at Flagstaff's rarefied elevation of 7,000 feet, Lowell launched research on a number of projects. Flagstaff's sky conditions were perfect for night observing, and the ongoing work at Lowell's observatory led to discoveries such as the planet Pluto and the first evidence of the expanding universe. Lowell spent 15 years intensively studying Mars. By viewing the surface of Mars through the 24-inch Clark Telescope, Lowell produced intricate drawings of the Red Planet, delineating hundreds of straight lines and their intersections (which Lowell called "oases"). Lowell concluded that the bright areas were deserts and the dark were patches of vegetation. He further believed that water from the melting polar cap flowed down the canals toward the equatorial region to revive the vegetation. Lowell believed the canals were constructed by intelligent beings who once flourished on Mars. He published his views in three books:

In 1894 he founded the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. Its altitude of some 7000 feet and its dry desert air made it an excellent observing site for the study of Mars, which was then close to the Earth.

    Extractions: Percival Lowell (1855-1916), astronomer and founder of the Lowell Observatory. Percival decided to undertake the study of astronomy in the 1890’s, concentrating first on the planet Mars. He eventually predicted the existence of the planet Pluto and initiated the search that ended in its discovery 14 years after his death. He died on Nov. 12, 1916, in Flagstaff, Ariz., where he had built his own observatory. A man of many talents and interests, Percival also devoted himself to literature and travel, much of the time in the Far East. He traveled and lived for almost 10 years in Japan and Korea, and acted as counselor and foreign secretary to the Korean Special Mission to the United States (1883). He described his travels in several books, including Choson, the Land of the Morning Calm - A Sketch of Korea

    Extractions: US astronomer who predicted the existence of a planet beyond Neptune, starting the search that led to the discovery of Pluto 1930. In 1894 he founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he reported seeing 'canals' (now known to be optical effects and natural formations) on the surface of Mars. Influenced strongly by the work of Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, Lowell set up his observatory at Flagstaff originally with the sole intention of confirming the presence of advanced life forms on Mars. He thought he could make out a complex and regular network of canals and regular seasonal variations that to him indicated agricultural activity. He led an expedition to the Chilean Andes in 1907 which produced the first high-quality photographs of the planet. Site Map Category Main Page About Us

He visited Korea and Japan, where he acted as counselor and foreign secretary to the Korean Special Mission to the United States and wrote several books about East Asia. Becoming interested in astronomy, he established (1894) the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., and devoted himself to making personal observations. It was his belief that Mars was inhabited and that the striations on the Martian surface were artificial waterways. He also contended that there was a planet beyond Neptune (confirmed in 1930 by the discovery of Pluto). From 1902 he was nonresident professor of astronomy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Among his many writings on astronomy are Mars and Its Canals (1906) and The Genesis of Planets See biography by A. L. Lowell (1935).
