From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial and/or celestial events. Astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geology, oceanography and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed. Historically, observatories were as simple as containing an astronomical sextant (for measuring the distance between stars) or Stonehenge (which has some alignments on astronomical phenomena).

The twin 10 meter Keck telescopes do visible an near infrared, with imaging and spectroscopy. The quad 8-ish meter telescopes do similar work. Arecibo is a radio telescope that has the highest sensitivity. The VLA is a group of radio telescopes on tracks that allow one to choose sensitivity vs. resolution. But VLBI with radio can be done using radio telescopes across the Earth. The Hubble Space telescope is primarily visible light, but with some infrared and ultraviolet. Imaging and spectroscopy. The Fine Guidance Sensors have been used to measure the side to side motion of a star under the influence of an orbiting planet. Nothing else can do such a thing.

Answered by Charlie149 - Tue Jan 29 11:39:43 2008 Is the Centerpoint Energy Plaza building in downtown Houston have an observatory in its upper floors?
Q. I would like to go to the upper floors of a really tall building, but most buildings don't permit this after Sept. 11, 2001. I live within driving distance of downtown Houston and have heard that Centerpoint Energy Plaza building has a restaurant way up there. Does anyone know anything about this building? If not, does anyone know of an alternative building? I want this mainly for sightseeing at night. Asked by manuel7marin - Sun Jun 28 22:40:27 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The JP Morgan Chase building has an observation deck on the 60th floor. It's the tallest building in Texas too, with 75 floors. The observation deck is only open during working hours though, so Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM. Be sure to check out the downtown tunnels too while you're at it.
