observatory

Uzbekistan’s medieval astronomer Ulugh Beg built the most advanced observatory of his time, charting the stars with uncanny precision long before Galileo.

However, space is limited as the observatory announced its public lawn will be closed until late November.

By linking signals from these observatories, they effectively created a virtual telescope five times wider than Earth's diameter.

Fair Isle - which is home to about 50 people - is famed for its knitwear as well as its wildlife and bird observatory.

Krupp said the observatory was inundated with questions about how to view the Perseid meteor shower, which peaked overnight and early Wednesday.
