Percival Lowell (1855-1916) Latest Modification: June 20, 1996 Percival Lowell came from a distinguished New England family. His younger brother Abbott was president of Harvard University, and his sister Amy was a well-known poet and critic. After his graduation from Harvard in 1876, with distinction in mathematics, he traveled for a number of years throughout the Far East before settling down to a career in astronomy. He was particularly interested in Mars and its "canals," of which drawings by the Italian astronomer Schiaparelli had received wide public attention. In 1894 he founded the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. Its altitude of some 7000 feet and its dry desert air made it an excellent observing site for the study of Mars, which was then close to the Earth. During 15 years of intensive study of Mars, whose surface markings he drew in intricate detail, Lowell pressed for acceptance of the network of several hundred fine, straight lines he drew on his maps and their intersection in a number of "oases." Lowell concluded that the bright areas were deserts and the dark ones patches of vegetation and that water from the melting polar cap flowed down the canals toward the equatorial region to revive the vegetation. He supposed the canals to have been constructed by intelligent beings who once flourished on Mars. Lowell published his views in three books: Mars Mars and Its Canals (1906), and

Z Lowell, Percival (1855-1916) Born into a wealthy and well-known Bostonian family, Lowell gave no early indication of the obsession that would come to dominate his life and create an enduring romance involving extraterrestrial canals (see Mars, canals of ) and an advanced Martian civilization (see Mars, life on ). At Harvard, where for 24 years his brother was president, he showed a talent for mathematics and even presented an astronomical address entitled "The Nebular Hypothesis". But following his graduation, he devoted the next 17 years to family business concerns and three extended stays in the Orient. He served as Foreign Secretary and Counselor to the first Korean diplomatic mission and, during his time in Korea and Japan, wrote four books on Eastern thought and culture. Then, for some reason which is not entirely clear, he caught the Mars bug. Perhaps he had been inspired by reading Flammarion 's popular treatise on the planet. Or, it may have been Schiaparelli 's work that influenced him directly. Certainly, as early as 1890, he had begun to correspond with William

Harvard, 1876; brother of Abbott Lawrence Lowell and Amy Lowell. He visited Korea and Japan, where he acted as counselor and foreign secretary to the Korean Special Mission to the United States and wrote several books about the East Asia. Becoming interested in astronomy, he established (1894) the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., and devoted himself to making personal observations. It was his belief that Mars was inhabited and that the striations on the Martian surface were artificial waterways. He also contended that there was a planet beyond Neptune (confirmed in 1930 by the discovery of Pluto). From 1902 he was nonresident professor of astronomy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
