(if not, where did they move it to?)
I saw it about 35 years ago. Was looking at old family slides and remember it.
Any info appreciated!

It is now nicely displayed at eye level in the Lowell Observatory within the visitor center or gift shop, I forget which. In any case, it is an improvement over being chained to the ground.

I remember wondering why they left it outside chained to the ground 35 years ago. (although tourists loved posing pictures with it while pretending to pick it up)
