The University of Hawai`i and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), with support from the National Science Foundation, have connected eleven of the world's leading astronomical observatories to Internet2 networks via the Mauna Kea Observatories Communication Network (MKOCN). With a capacity of 45 million bits per second, the new link will dramatically expand the capacity of astronomers around the world to remotely use telescopes located on the Hawai`i mountaintop. The connection, which is nearly one thousand times faster than a typical modem, expands access to telescopes situated on Mauna Kea in a variety of ways.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Observatory Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition An observatory is a location utilised for the purpose of observing terrestrial and celestial events. Astronomy, climatology, geology, meteorology and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed. Historically, observatories have been as simple as containing a sextant A sextant is a measuring instrument used to measure the angle of elevation of a celestial object, traditionally the Sun above the horizon. Knowing the angle and time of day, traditionally mid-day for the sun, one can calculate the degree of latitude. See celestial navigation for more discussion. Two different men independently invented the sextant around 1730: John Hadley (1682-1744), an English mathematician, and Thomas Godfrey (1704-1749), an American inventor. The sextant replaced the astrolabe as the main instrument for navigation. Click the link for more information. (for measuring the distance between stars For alternate meanings see Star (disambiguation) A star is a large glowing sphere that is found in outer space. Stars appear as points in the nighttime sky that twinkle because of the effect of the Earth's atmosphere. The Sun is an exception: it is the only star sufficiently close to Earth to appear as a disc and to provide daylight.

Amateur Astronomical Observatories Examples of small observatories that individual amateur astronomers have built for personal use. I started this list when doing research before building my own observatory . I got a lot of good ideas by looking at what others had done. Perhaps you will, too :-) Building a small observatory is not all that hard. A simple roll-off roof design can be built in a few days with simple tools and materials easily available in your local building supply store. A dome is much more complicated but still can be done with more careful planning. Or you can buy a kit. Hardcopy More Small Astronomical Observatories edited by Partick Moore.

Orbital Telescopes Since the early years of spaceflight, the advantages of astronomical observing above the Earth's atmosphere were recognized, and led to the introduction of astronomical instruments on spacecraft, i.e., astronomical observatories in space (in most cases, in Earth's orbit).

The history of Astronomy in Wales: Introduction ... Wales today A STRONOMICAL O BSERVATORIES Introduction Some astronomical observatories have existed in Wales during the past two centuries. No major instutional observatories have been set up, but a few observatories of modest size were erected. Public and institutional observatories A few public and institutional observatories have been set up. These have included: The Cardiff City Observatory . A municipal observatory existed at Penylan, Cardiff, in the first half of the 20th century, with a 12-inch reflector donated to the city. The University of Wales Bangor had an observatory equipped with a six-inch refractor for a number of years from the 1920's. Private observatories Some observatories have been built by individuals. These have included the following: Nathaniel Pigott (d. 1804) and his son Edward Pigott (1753-1825) erected an observatory with a transit circle and a six-foot focal length achromatic refractor at their estate at Frampton in the Vale of Glamorgan in the 1770's. Robert Roberts (1777-1836) erected an observatory at his home in Holyhead in the 19th century. It was situated on a tower and, although nothing remains today, the structure has provided the name of the street where it once stood: Tower Gardens.
