Good morning, Lowell.

Today, UMass Lowell’s Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology signed an agreement with Space Centre Australia LLC to form a global consortium for aerospace research— the five-year deal gives researchers access to a C-130J-30 Super Hercules Research Aircraft from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility and allows more institutions to join future space and environmental missions.

The City of Lowell and the Lowell Historic Board will host the Sun Sign Restoration Lighting on Monday, October 27 at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Lowell Memorial Auditorium (50 East Merrimack St.).

The event will feature restored LED lighting that mimics the original neon design from 1934, supported by a $60,000 city grant.
