Lowell Observatory

On April 6th 2026 30 members of the club made the trip up north to Lowell Observatory to visit the new facility and enjoy the night sky with the open deck planetarium.   The day started out cloudy and windy but by noon the sky was opening and by the evening we had clear skies for an wonderful walk thru the night sky by one of the Lowell staff.    The wind was still blowing but everyone dressed for the weather and enjoyed the event.   18 of us stayed at the Drury Inn and enjoyed the 5:30 drinks and hors d’oeuvres and the next morning a wonderful breakfast.    If this trip is planned again we’ll have try and get a group rate at this hotel.
