Cover has slight wear and soiling. Cover has slight wear and soiling. William Lowell Putnam, IV ("Lowell") is the great-grandnephew of Percival Lowell, the Observatory's founder. Putnam was actively involved in the development of early-generation television traffic systems and held senior software development and business analyst positions, including Director of Systems Development for Springfield Television Corporation. He has served on various media industry boards and committees. In 1984 he founded VCI Solutions, a company that provided sales, traffic, and automation software solutions for the broadcast and cable industry. He sold this company in 2010. Putnam is the fifth trustee of the observatory since Percival Lowell's death in 1916. Established in 1894 in Flagstaff, Arizona by Percival Lowell, the Lowell Observatory on Mars Hill is still remembered as the site of numerous important astronomical firsts. The great recessional velocities of galaxies were first observed here in the years immediately before the first world war, a discovery that ultimately led scientists to the realization that our universe is expanding. In 1930, the dwarf planet Pluto was discovered at Lowell by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. This volume is a series of vignettes in the observatory's history, from its foundation and early years under Lowell's guidance to its more modern-day accomplishments. It is richly illustrated with photographs from the Lowell archives. Second Edition [stated]. Limited to 1000 copies. Artikel-Nr. 77569
