Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona adds “The Eagle has Landed” and “Galaxy Gothic” posters to its distinctive collection of discovery

Lowell Observatory has announced the recent acquisition of Rex Parker’s dramatic “Galaxy Gothic” and “The Eagle has Landed” for there collection. “They’re lovely!” — said Lauren Amundson, Archivist and Librarian for Lowell Observatory shown holding “Galaxy Gothic” print.

The “Galaxy Gothic” poster design is the epic adventure of exploration — from the Milky Way to the brilliant stars whirling through the cosmos.
