This Open-Air Observatory Is The Best Way To Stargaze In Arizona
From the discovery of Pluto to the largest telescope in the world, Arizona is no stranger to astronomical genius. A more recent achievement is the Giovale Open Deck Observatory at Lowell Observatory, which offers an outdoor stargazing experience that’ll forever change how you see the cosmos.
Known as the place where Pluto was discovered in 1930, Lowell Observatory has once again revolutionized the act of observing the cosmos.
You'll find the observatory on West Mars Hill Road in Flagstaff.
Having recently opened, the Giovale Open Deck Observatory provides a socially-distanced stargazing experience perfect for anyone who loves the night sky.
There's also a webcam that updates every couple of minutes. So many options!
