Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff Arizona
Lowell Observatory :: Percival Lowell Lowell Observatory FOUNDER: Percival Lowell (1855-1916)
Born a wealthy Boston aristocrat, Percival Lowell was an amateur astronomer passionately
dedicated to finding proof of intelligent life on Mars. He graduated from Harvard in 1876 with
distinction in mathematics. He came from a well-known family; his brother, Lawrence Abbott, was
president of Harvard and his sister, Amy, a famous poet and critic, received a Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1926. Lowell traveled extensively in the Orient before deciding on a career in astronomy. On May 28, 1894, he founded Lowell Observatory, spurring a longstanding tradition of astronomical research and discovery in Arizona. At his observatory, Lowell launched research on a number of projects, leading to discoveries such as the planet Pluto and the first evidence of the expanding universe.

Anamizu and Percival Lowell
By Masaki Okamoto
February, 1996 In my prefecture there is a city which has a festival named after Percival Lowell, who is very famous for his mathematical contribution to Clyde Tombaugh's discovery of Pluto in 1930. The city is Anamizu, located in the center of Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture, and the name of the festival is the "Lowell Festival" which is held at the beginning of May each year. Why did Anamizu City make such a festival? The American astronomer visited there in May, 1889 and published a book about the journey to the "then" remote fishing village and port. About 100 years later the city government decided to commemorate his arrival. In 1981 Masaaki Miyazaki, a college lecturer in Kanazawa, published the Japanese version of Percival Lowell's Noto : An Unexplored Corner of Japan . The book, describing a foreign tourist's travel in "Lost" Japan, became very popular in the prefecture and was awarded the Kanazawa Civic Literature Prize by the Kanazawa city government, which led to the Anamizu city's decision. Anamizu is also designated by the Environmental Ministry as "the city which has the most beautiful night skies in Japan", and calls itself "Star City." The people living in the area can still enjoy being with beautiful Nature around them. They want to keep it as it is.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~maessex/newbury/lowellp.htm
Percival Lowell In 1639 Percival Lowell sailed from Bristol, England, for Newbury, MA on the "Jonathan." Percival, considered an old man at the age of sixty-eight, brought his entire family to Newbury. They reached Boston 23 June 1639 after a voyage of nine weeks. There was his wife Rebecca, surname unknown, their three grown children: John, Richard, and Joanna; spouses of their children; several grandchildren; and a few business associates.
Among those who chose to accompany the Lowells to Newbury were Richard Dole, apprentice to John Lowell; William Gerrish, business associate and later to become his son-in-law; and Anthony Somerby, his clerk. Later Anthony Somerby became Newbury's first schoolmaster, serving for nearly fifty years.
Upon arrival, Percival contributed fifty pounds to the common stock and received one hundred acres of marsh and meadow land. He later added to this by purchasing more land. The Newbury Public Library stands on land once owned by the Lowells.
As Percival Lowell had been a merchant in England, he and his sons soon established the same type business in Newbury. However, because of his age, Percival took little active part in business or community affairs. He left most of that to his sons and son-in-law. He did, however, continue to oversee to his business needs, attend church regularly, read books, write poetry, and enjoy his family.
John Lowell, Percival's older son, his wife Mary Gooch, and their four children were aboard the "Jonathan." Mary died when her fifth child was born soon after her arrival in Newbury. The following year John married Elizabeth Goodale. She and John had three children. John took a most active part in the family business and began almost immediately to take a prominent part in public affairs. But he died 10 July 1647, thus leaving much promise unfulfilled.

Lowell Observatory - Flagstaff, Arizona
The Lowell Observatory was founded by Percival Lowell in 1894. The observatory has a rich history of observations, among those being the ones that led to the discovery of the planet PLuto by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. Lowell predicted the discovery of a ninth planet and spent years searching for it. The planet was named by a young British girl who named if for Pluto, God of the Underworld, because the planet is so cold and so far away from the Sun. The PL was definitely a PLus, as it happens to be the initials of Percival Lowell. Lowell was also fascinated with the planet Mars and as a result the name of the location which contains the observatory is now appropriately named Mars Hill. The 13-inch astrograph, which is now known as the Pluto Discovery Telescope, was used in the search for Pluto and is still in use today. There are also several other telescopes located at the site, including the historic Clark telescope. The Clark telescope was used by Dr. Slipher in 1912 to discovered first evidence that the universe is expanding and is now used for public observing sessions. The mausoleum of Percival Lowell is located next to the main telescope dome. Today, there are five telescopes on Mars Hill, two of which are used for the public. In addition, there are six telescopes used solely for scientific observation at Lowell Observatory's dark-sky site southeast of Flagstaff.
