A mile west of downtown Flagstaff, Ariz., the Lowell Observatory is one of the oldest facilities of its kind in the nation.

Visitors can peer through the Alvan Clark 24-inch refracting telescope, an instrument so powerful that it was used at the turn of the century to look for life on Mars.

The public viewing program runs from June through August, Monday through Saturday, 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Fees: $6 for adults and $3 for youngsters.
