Please donate to return the Perth Observatory’s Lowell Telescope to Astronomical Research.
The Perth-Lowell telescope, which was funded by NASA and acquired by Lowell Observatory of Flagstaff, USA, was installed at Perth Observatory on a permanent loan basis.
In 1977 the Perth Lowell Telescope, one of six built for International Observatories taking part in the International Planetary Patrol Program (IPPP) funded by NASA, was instrumental in discovering the Rings of Uranus.
With your help, the Perth-Lowell telescope can continue to significantly contribute to current Astronomical Research including blackhole and exoplanet exploration.
This telescope needs restoration so we can enable the renewal International Astronomical Research at Perth Observatory.
