Jewett Observatory, Astronomical observatory at Washington State University in Pullman, United States.
The Jewett Observatory houses specialized telescopes and equipment for astronomical observations at an elevation of 790 meters above sea level on Observatory Drive.
Washington State University obtained the observatory's 12-inch lens, originally crafted by Alvan Clark & Sons between 1887 and 1889, through an auction in the 1950s.
The observatory hosts monthly star observation events where members of the public can use the main telescope to explore celestial objects.
The facility maintains twelve portable telescopes specifically designated for educational purposes, available to trained students for astronomical studies.
The observatory features the largest refracting telescope in Washington State, with a lens that remained in storage for decades before installation.
