Extractions: Percival Lowell (1855-1916) war ein US-amerikanischer Astronom . Er gr¼ndete 1894 das Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff , Arizona (1894), wo intensive Studien des Mars - und sp¤ter anderer Planeten sowie der Milchstrae - durchgef¼hrt wurden. Ausl¶ser war die Entdeckung der "Marskan¤le" durch Schiaparelli im Jahr 1877, welche Lowell f¼r k¼nstlich gebaute Kan¤le zur Bew¤sserung des austrocknenden Mars hielt. Lowell war zun¤chst ein beg¼terter Liebhaber-Astronom, konnte aber bald ausgezeichnete Fachleute f¼r sein Institut gewinnen und es modern ausstatten. 1930 wurde dort der "9.

percival lowell, Astronomer. Undoubtedly the greatest believer and promoter ofMartian canals was percival lowell, astronomer and brilliant mathematician.
http://www.hunterian.gla.ac.uk/Archives/mars/percivallowell.html

Extractions: Undoubtedly the greatest believer and promoter of Martian canals was Percival Lowell, astronomer and brilliant mathematician. He belonged to a late nineteenth century Boston family of considerable social status. The Lowell family was extremely wealthy, so much so that Lowell totally financed the observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, which now bears his name. That kind of wealth in nineteenth century Boston set you apart completely from most other humans. A contemporary jingle runs: So this is dear old Boston, The home of the bean and the cod, Where Lowells talk only to Cabots And Cabots talk only to God! There can be no doubt that Lowell was an accomplished mathematician. His calculations concerning gravitational perturbations to the movement of the planet Neptune, paved the way towards the discovery of the planet Pluto, some 14 years after Lowell's death. When it came to Mars, however, things were quite different. Undoubtedly Lowell was influenced by Schiaparelli. Yet he believed increasingly that the geometrical patterns he maintained he could see on Mars were the work of intelligent beings, irrigating on a truly vast scale, a vegetation whose seasonal reawakening spread from the poles to the equator. He published a number of very popular books on the subject which enjoyed great influence and success. Lowell's maps of Mars became more geometrical. Even at the height of the popularity of the Martian canals theory around the turn of the century there were a few experienced and keen sighted observers who would have none of it. Eugene Antoniardi was one such astronomer, blessed with acute vision and with access to the finest telescopes in Europe, situated at altitudes where atmospheric 'seeing' conditions were at their best. At close oppositions when through the most powerful instruments, Mars can look no better that a 'shaky' golf ball held at arms length. Antoniardi maintained that Lowell had been on the verge of seeing true fine detail but he ended up 'joining the dots'

Extractions: Founder of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, strong supporter of the theory of canals on the planet Mars, first to realize the possibility of a ninth planet beyond the orbit of Neptune. Percival Lowell was born in 1855 to a distinguished New England family. His younger brother was president of Harvard University and his sister was a well-known writer. Lowell also attended Harvard and graduated in 1876 with a distinction in mathematics. After traveling in the Far East for a number of years, he eventually developed a fond interest in astronomy. He was particularly interested in Mars and its "canals" that had supposedly been discovered by the Italian astronomer, Schaparelli. In 1894, Lowell founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. The observatory was ideally situated at an altitude of 7000 feet. The high altitude combined with the dry desert air made this site ideal for observing Mars, which was at that time very close to the Earth. Lowell observed the red planet for 15 years. He made intricate and detailed drawings of the planet's surface showing a complex network of intersecting lines and dark regions. Lowell believed these lines to be canals built by an advanced civilization of intelligent beings. He asserted that these canals were being used by a desperate race to transport precious water from the planet's icy poles. The dark regions were believed to be oases of green vegetation made possible by the irrigating canals. Lowell published these theories in three books:

http://www.ganesha-publishing.com/lowell.htm

Extractions: Percival Lowell (1855-1916) was born in a wealthy Boston family as elder brother of the poet Amy Lowell and Harvard President Lawrence Lowell. After graduating from Harvard College in 1876, he entered business. From 1883 to 1893, he travelled extensively in Asia and related his experiences in a series of articles and books. His works were well received and contributed considerably to the awakening American interest in Korea and Japan. The Soul of the Far East was praised by Lafcadio Hearn for its insight into the thought of the "Orient". In Occult Japan , Lowell describes the practices and rites of Shinto, in which he became interested following a trip up the sacred mountain Ontake. He also developed an interest in astronomy and founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 1894. From 1902, Lowell was non-resident professor of astronomy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was one of the main American disciples of Herbert Spencer. David Strauss is the author of the recent biography Percival Lowell: The Culture and Science of a Boston Brahmin Volume 1

http://www.nirgal.net/canaux.html

Extractions: Lorsque la Terre occupait le centre du système solaire (et du monde, par la même occasion !), on ne se posait pas la question de savoir si d'autres planètes pouvaient héberger la vie. Ceux qui y songeait pouvaient se retrouver sur un bûcher. C'est seulement après le passage de Copernic que les esprits allaient pouvoir librement débattre de cette éternelle question. Si la Terre est une planète comme les autres, alors les autres planètes qui l'accompagnent dans sa ronde autour du soleil pourraient aussi parfaitement servir de refuges à des organismes vivants, éventuellement doués de conscience. A partir du XVIIe siècle, l'existence d'autres mondes habités (dans le système solaire ou dans l'univers) est communément admise par beaucoup d'astronomes. A la fin du XIXe siècle, avec la découverte des canaux martiens, Mars va rapidement devenir l'astre favori des observateurs en quête d'entités célestes. Fontenelle, dans ses Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes, affirme pourtant que Mars n'a rien de curieux et qu'elle ne vaut pas le détour. Kant, dans son Histoire générale de la nature (1755) néglige Mars au profit de Jupiter. Plus audacieux, Swedenborg n'hésitera pas à décrire Mars comme une planète habitée par des Esprits et des Anges, dont il donnera d'ailleurs une description cocasse. La pluralité de la vie dans l'univers est aussi discutée par Jean-dominique Cassini , William Herschel et Christian Huygens (Cosmotheoros, 1698).
