Question: Information: - Anderson Mesa Station is an astronomical observatory established in 1959 as a dark-sky observing site for Lowell Observatory. It is located at Anderson Mesa in Coconino County, Arizona (USA), about 12 miles southeast of Lowell's main campus on Mars Hill in Flagstaff, Arizona. - 5677 Aberdonia , provisional designation 1987 SQ1 , is a stony asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt , about 8 kilometers in diameter . It was discovered on 21 September 1987 , by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Lowell 's Anderson Mesa Station in Flagstaff , Arizona , United States . The S - type asteroid is a member of the Koronis family , a group consisting of about 200 known bodies with nearly ecliptical orbits . It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7 -- 3.0 AU once every 4 years and 9 months ( 1,744 days ) . Its orbit is tilted to the plane of the ecliptic by only 1 degree and shows a low eccentricity of 0.06 . In 2011 , a photometric light - curve observation at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory survey , California , has given the asteroid a rotation period of 5.0813 0.0410 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.20 in magnitude . The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link ( CALL ) assumes an albedo of 0.24 , a standard albedo for silicaceous asteroids of this family . The minor planet was named in honor of the Scottish University of Aberdeen on the occasion of its five - hundredth anniversary in 1995 . The University had the first chair of medicine in the English - speaking world . The teaching of natural philosophy began more than 400 years ago , and the earliest record of the teaching of astronomy dates back to 1593 . Prominent occupants of chairs of natural philosophy include James Clerk Maxwell and George Paget Thomson . - Lowell Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States. Lowell Observatory was established in 1894, placing it among the oldest observatories in the United States, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. In 2011, the Observatory was named one of "The World's 100 Most Important Places" by TIME. It was at the Lowell Observatory that the dwarf planet Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. What is the relationship between '5677 aberdonia' and 'lowell observatory'?
