Encarta Search Search Encarta about Lowell, Percival Advertisement Lowell, Percival Encyclopedia Article Lowell, Percival (1855-1916), American astronomer, who made significant observations of the planets. He is best known for his belief that there are canals on the surface of Mars and that these canals provide evidence for the existence of intelligent life there. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard University, Lowell traveled in Japan and Korea from 1877 until 1893 and later wrote books about East Asia. In 1894 he founded and became director of the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. From 1902 until his death, he was nonresident professor of astronomy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He predicted the discovery of Pluto , which astronomers first observed in 1930 at the Lowell Observatory. Lowell's writings include Mars and Its Canals Memoir on a Trans-Neptunian Planet (1915), and

Slipher found that M31's spectrum exhibits a significant shift in its position toward the blue. According to Doppler's principle, this shift indicates that M31 is moving toward us at the high rate of speed of 300 km/sec.

HISTORY 135C Exploring the Cosmos An Introduction to the History of Astronomy SPRING QUARTER, 2003 Department of History University of California, Irvine Instructor: Dr. Barbara J. Becker Week 10. Astronomy in the Twenty-first Century. excerpts from Mars by Percival Lowell (1855-1916) Who First Saw the Lines? The first hint the world had of their existence was when [Giovanni Virginio] Schiaparelli [1835-1910] saw some of the lines in 1877.... The world, however, was anything but prepared for the revelation, and, when he announced what he had seen, promptly proceeded to disbelieve him. Map of Mars, by G. V. Schiaparelli (based on observations made from 1877 to 1886) Schiaparelli had the misfortune to be ahead of his times, and the yet greater misfortune to remain so; for not only did no one else see the lines at that [time], but no one else succeeded in doing so [later]. For many years fate allowed Schiaparelli to have them all to himself.... In 1879 the canali, as he called them (channels, or canals, the word may be translated...), showed straighter and narrower than they had in 1877: this is not in consequence of any change in them, but from his own improved faculty of detection; for what the eye has once seen it can always see better a second time.... Toward the end of [1879, Schiaparelli] observed one evening what struck him as a most startling phenomenon,—the twinning of one of the canals: two parallel canals suddenly showed where but a single one had showed before. The paralleling was so perfect that he suspected optical illusion. He could, however, discover none by changing his telescopes or eye-pieces. The phenomenon, apparently, was real.

"Thoughts on Mars at Lowell's Telescope" David S. F. Portree Author note: published an edited version of this brief piece in its October/November 2001 issue under the title "Closer to Mars." It's a little past midnight on June 14, 2001, and Mars is a fiery orange dot low and due south in the Arizona sky. Tonight, a line drawn between Mars and the Sun passes through Earth. This geometry, called an opposition, recurs every 26 months. Telescopic observers eagerly await Mars oppositions, because they mean the Red Planet is near Earth, making it bright in the sky and large in telescopes. Space explorers like oppositions because they are opportunities for low-energy Mars flights. This opposition, Mars is about 42 million miles away. I'm at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, squinting through the eyepiece of a 105-year-old telescope and waiting for random, surprising moments of clarity. Earth's quivering atmosphere turns Mars into an astronomical Rorschach test. Sometimes the dark surface areas on Mars' orange disk look greenish, suggesting vegetation. Other times they look brown and linked by pale broad lines that fade quickly. They hint at some cryptic pattern, like a hieroglyph carved by a lost civilization. I think I see clouds over a region called Elysium, but it's tough to be sure. The old telescope is not at fault - the view is poor because of forest fire smoke and an approaching cold front. Percival Lowell (1855-1916) paid $20,000 for his telescope in 1896 - about $7 million in 2001 dollars. Lowell was a Boston aristocrat drawn irresistibly to things exotic. As a young man he lived in Japan and Korea. At mid-life, Mars became Lowell's passion, driving him into the mountains of the Arizona Territory in quest of clear skies. He established his observatory on a pine-covered ridge overlooking Flagstaff, 7200 feet above sea level. The site became known as Mars Hill.

Red on one side and black on the other, Misengwe sorts out good and evil. This time of year, he hunts Gitaskogak, the Great Serpent, in the southern sky. What my people see as the great serpent, many people call the constellation Scorpius. Misengwe's red side is turned to us this time of year so we can see him, but at other times, he presents his black side and is invisible in the night sky." Early Times Long before telescopes and spaceships, ancient people noticed stars that moved differently through the sky than all the rest. These "wandering stars" were planets and one of them was a rusty-red color that reminded people of fire and blood. The Romans named this small planet after Mars, their god of war. When Mars appeared in the sky, some people thought it was a sign that a terrible war was coming.

Part of the Mars Library Click here for Main Index Early Twentieth Century Percival Lowell (1855-1916): Prolonged examination of the red planet through the eye of a telescope commonly led to eyestrain, and most astronomers turned to cameras around the turn of the century. Yet even the finest photographic plates were so coarsely grained they could not capture the delicate lines of "vegetation-fringed canals" fifty or even hundreds of miles in width. Yet Lowell insisted that the canals did exist. He believed the canals were an intricate web of huge irrigation ditches, carrying water from the melting polar caps to the inhabitants of Mars. He believed the light and dark areas reflected seasonal changes due to crop cultivation, attempting to revive an arid desert world. His theory was motivated by the technological marvels of the Industrial Age: the completion of the 363-mile-long, 40-foot-wide Erie Canal connecting the Great Lakes with the Hudson River, and the 100-mile-long Suez Canal completed in 1869. Edgar Rice Burroughs: From A Princess of Mars (written in 1911, first published hardback in 1917): "I opened my eyes upon a strange and weird landscape. I knew that I was on Mars; not once did I question either my sanity or my wakefulness. I was not asleep, no need for pinching here; my inner consciousness told me as plainly that I was upon Mars as your conscious mind tells you that you are upon Earth. You do not question the fact; neither did I."

Mathematical discovery of planets Mathematical Astronomy index History Topics Index Version for printing The first planet to be discovered was Uranus by William and Caroline Herschel on 13 March 1781. It was discovered by the fact that it showed a disk when viewed through even a fairly low powered telescope. The only other planets which have been discovered are Neptune and Pluto. These were predicted using ingenious mathematical arguments based on Newton 's laws of gravitation and then observed near their predicted locations. In fact Neptune could have been discovered without the mathematical arguments. It very nearly was discovered by Galileo , the first person who could possibly have discovered a new planet. Galileo turned his telescope on the planets and was immediately fascinated by the system of Jupiter and its moons which he observed. While he was observing the Jupiter system on 28 December 1612 he recorded Neptune as an 8 th magnitude star. Just over a month later on 27 January 1613, he recorded two stars in his field of view. One was Neptune and the other a genuine star. Remarkably, Galileo observed the pair again the following night when he noted that the two stars appeared to be further apart. How close he was at that point to discovering that one of the stars was the planet Neptune. See [1].

FLAGSTAFF Surrounded by ponderosa pine forest in the center of northern Arizona, Flagstaff (pop. 63,000) has long served as an important stop for Native Americans, ranchers, and travelers. The older, downtown part of Flagstaff still offers a bit of frontier feeling, expressed by its many historic buildings. Other parts of this small city may seem like endless lines of motels, restaurants, bars, and service stations, but even here one can find reminders of old Route 66 that once linked Flagstaff with the rest of America. Downtown is an enjoyable place to stroll, to admire the architecture, and perhaps to sample some of the unique restaurants and shops. Many of the old structures have plaques describing their history. To visit the distant past, when the land rose up, volcanoes erupted, and the early tribes arrived, drop by the Museum of Northern Arizona. To learn about the pioneers of 100 years ago, head over to the Pioneer Historical Museum and the Riordan Mansion State Historic Park. To see the current art scene, swing by Northern Arizona University's galleries, downtown galleries, Coconino Center for the Arts, and the Art Barn. For a trip out of this world, visit Lowell Observatory, where astronomers discovered Pluto, or the U.S. Geological Survey, where astrogeologists map celestial bodies. For the great outdoors, head for the hills—Arizona's highest mountains begin at the northern outskirts of town. In summer, the mountains, hills, and meadows offer pleasant forest walks and challenging climbs. Winter snows transform the countryside into some of the state's best downhill and cross-country skiing areas.
