Dr. Amanda Bosh has been appointed executive director of Flagstaff’s Lowell Observatory.

She will replace Dr. Jeff Hall, who has been in the role for 14 years.

Bosh joined the observatory in 1994 and has contributed to several groundbreaking research projects, like the co-discovery of Pluto’s atmosphere.

She also co-founded the Native American Astronomy Outreach Program and previously served as operations manager, project director for the Astronomy Discovery Center and — most recently —chief operating officer.

Dr. Amanda Bosh will start in a new role as the executive director of Lowell Observatory on Nov. 16, 2024.
