A Celebration at Lowell Observatory and Meteor Crater
Meteor Crater and Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, set the stage for a fantastic Asteroid Day celebration. Flagstaff’s “Big Impact Event” will highlight the Meteor Crater, formed 50,000 years ago, representing the best preserved meteor impact site in the world.
Meteor Crater is 700 feet deep, more than an astronomical 4,000 feet across, and 2.4 miles in circumference.
Lowell Observatory, a 128-year-old astronomical observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, studies near-earth asteroids and has discovered roughly 30,000 asteroids and about 40 comets in our solar system.
The two organizations together will plan a one-day event complete with panels, speakers, food, boba, face painting, tours of both facilities, a scavenger hunt, and night-sky viewing.
More Info Coming Soon!
Check later back for a full schedule of events, speakers, activities, and more! We can't wait to see you at both Lowell Observatory and Meteor Crater on June 30, 2023.
