About

    An observatory is a facility, often located in a remote or high-altitude area, where astronomers and scientists study celestial objects such as stars, planets, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena. Observatories are equipped with telescopes and other instruments that allow researchers to observe and analyze the light and other emissions coming from these objects. Observatories can be ground-based or space-based, and they play a vital role in advancing our understanding of the universe and the laws of physics that govern it.
