Lowell Observatory is here in Flagstaff. It is where they discovered Pluto and it is one of the reasons that Flagstaff is a "dark" city. This means that there is not an excess of light pollution at night so it doesn't adversly affect the observatory. The street lights are dim and allow little light to escape upwards. Makes star viewing a pleasure here! The milky way glows at night, something no longer visible in most cities.
