Night sky observatory

A night sky observatory is a facility designed for observing celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies, primarily during nighttime. These observatories typically feature telescopes and specialized instruments that enhance our ability to study the universe. They may also include educational programs to inspire the public about astronomy. Observatories can be found worldwide, often situated in remote locations to minimize light pollution, allowing for clearer views of the night sky. Their research contributes to our understanding of cosmic phenomena and the overall mechanics of the universe.
