About
When I was a kid living in Flagstaff, AZ this place used to fascinate me. You could look through the glass panels on the door and see a casket sitting in there. It is the crypt of the good Mr. Percival Lowell, founder of the Lowell Observatory and discoverer of the planet Pluto (now a non-planet). This crypt is about 50 yards from the main observatory. We used to be able to go up there at night and talk to the astronomers and they would show us all sorts of amazing things out in space. No more. It seems as though the general public isn't welcome anymore in this way.
