Great observatories in the world

Great observatories in the world The main observation of the world, are responsible for many of the prolific astronomical observations of the twentieth century. Other Telehandlers, radio plate for the collection of data and infrared images are among the various types of observers have been able to use to lea the sky. The Palomar Observatory in May, the most famous of all. With five telescopes operated by Cal-Tech? Graduates and post-doc, the 200-inch Hale Telescope is the most famous of all the Palomar? Telescopes. Built in 1949, it is intended to overcome the emergence of Southe Califoia smog problem. Other notable telescopes operating at Cal-Tech consists of a telescope in search of supeova, a comet hunter, a trio of research camera sky planetary and other celestial phenomena, an interferometer that can detect the slightest oscillation of the orbit a planet, and a sixty-inch telescope to locate the first brown dwarf companion around the star. Cal Tech is also directly involved in the operation of the Keck and Lick observatories. Keck Observatory, located on top of Hawaii? S dormant volcano Mauna Kea in the world? The largest optical and infrared telescopes. The two Keck telescopes stand eight stories tall and weighs 300 tons each. Lick Observatory is located at 4200 feet on Mount Hamilton east of San Jose, Califoia, USA. It contains nine research telescopes with the largest is the 3-meter Shane reflector. This telescope is used to observe all of our solar system, distant galaxies. The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles is known for its12 inch Zeiss refractor telescope. This telescope? S reputation is largely due to the fact that it was used for the public to the world since 1935. Over five million people watched through its objectives, since, under the direction of the telescope experience demonstrators. The Griffith Observatory is also known for its light laserium in previous years, even if they have been removed at this time. The Hayden Planetarium in Boston, is more than a planetarium. It 'also a museum. With Gilliland Observatory, the laser light and a system of rotation simulator stars are just some of the various astronomical multimedia experience available to the public. The Greenwich Observatory in Cambridge, England, was created in 1675 by King Charles II in order to partially correct longitude readings. It is currently set at the point of reference in the world time to Greenwich Mean Time. An observatory in Portland Maine is being restored, as a famous architectural monument. Another note the Center of the University of Chicago? S Yerkes Observatory with five telescopes. All these observers have added to the wide range of knowledge now known to the universe. Their importance for the history of astronomy, as well as their use can not be overestimated. 1) Palomar observed: For over 50 years, science beyond; Scott LaFee, San Diego Union Tribune, 2 November 2005 2) Caltech Astronomy website, 3) UC Observatories site 4) Yerkes Observatory site 5) Griffith Observatory site; 6) Monitoring of view deserve to be preserved, by Jean Alphonse. 7) Website Hayden Planetarium. 8) The Astronomical Society of Edinburgh: A Guide to Popular Observatory Edinburgh
