In the latest episode of my podcast, Dispatches with Jonny Eberle, I share a short story about life, death, and outer space that was first published in 2014. While a lot of my earlier work makes me cringe, I still really like this piece and I hope you will, too.

The 24" Clark Telescope
Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, AZ

Of the many telescopes found on Lowell Observatory’s central Flagstaff campus, the most prolific and recognizable is the Clark Refractor.... In the observatory’s earliest days, Percival Lowell himself used the Clark to study the surface of Mars, searching for signs of intelligent life. His theories on the subject fostered massive public interest in astronomy and sparked the imaginations of science fiction writers for generations to come. Nearly a century later, the Clark would be used by a team of scientists and artists to create painstakingly detailed maps of the Moon’s surface for use on the Apollo moon mission.

#TelescopeThursday #telescope #LowellObservatory #Arizona #photo

@rbellinger My favorite Friday activity is to go to #PupinHall at #ColubmiaUniversity for the #AstronomyOutreach program. Its amazing and its free. Went to a very basic presentation at #LowellObservatory in #Flagstaff and it wasn't free and was too basic. They are n't here yet and don't have a calendar yet. I searched on #Pupin and found this thing about a coil. Might be the same Pupin. They are both Michaels.

#ThrowbackThursday to when the fam & I saw the #ClarkTelescope at #LowellObservatory in #Flagstaff, #Arizona. Such a fun day. #space #Astronomy #telescope #telescopes
