Oh cool, in May I will be going back to one of my favourite (former) astronomical observatories, La Specola in Padua/Padova.

Thread of pics & info from last time: https://aus.social/@spacelizard/113357480334568703

Aus.SocialAnthony Horton (@spacelizard@aus.social)Attached: 1 image There are many noteworthy buildings in Padova/Padua, but this is the one that I'm here for: La Specola. Originally build as a defensive tower in the 9th century, it became a prison in the 13th century, part of a new castle in the 14th, a warehouse in the 16th and then finally, in 1761, it was decided to convert it into an astronomical observatory. As this was an astronomical instrumentation project it ended up behind schedule and over budget, but by 1777 it was a working observatory, which it remained until the 1930s. Now the buildings on the site are used by a museum and INAF's Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova. It's our INAF colleagues that have invited us here for the MAVIS systems engineering and MAIT planning workshop, at La Specola. https://www.unipd.it/en/specola #Astrodon #Astronomy #Observatory

The Griffith Observatory broadcast team was incredibly lucky to catch the entire lunar eclipse between rainy days! Check out the time lapse of the event on our YouTube channel.
It was very windy and cold on the roof, but we did it! Very proud of our team.

"SOFIA" was literally a flying telescope.
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy was a heavily modified Boeing 747 SP with a huge door on the side that opened in flight at 41,000 feet to operate an enormous 8.2 ft diameter infrared telescope and study the stars.
It was retired in 2022, and it wasn't even the first flying telescope of its kind, but the third.

The photo shows the entrance to a historic railway station. The station is built with a combination of stone and concrete, giving it a solid and sturdy appearance. The entrance is framed by a large, arched overhang with intricate metalwork details. The station name, "Milsons Point Railway Station," is displayed prominently above the entrance, along with the word "Railway" in bold letters. The overall style of the station suggests a period of architectural grandeur, likely from the early 20th century.

The image showcases a modern, multi-story building with a unique architectural style. The building's facade features a mix of materials and colors, including concrete, metal, and glass. The design incorporates large windows and balconies, creating a sense of openness and light. The building appears to be part of a larger complex, with other structures visible in the background.

The image shows a historic building with a domed roof, likely an observatory, situated in a park setting. The building has a weathered, stone facade and is surrounded by lush greenery. In the background, a city skyline can be seen, with modern skyscrapers towering over the observatory. The contrast between the old and the new creates an interesting juxtaposition, highlighting the evolution of the city.

This photo captures a breathtaking view of Sydney Harbour on a cloudy day. The iconic Sydney Opera House takes center stage, its distinctive white sails contrasting against the dark, dramatic sky. The harbor stretches out before the viewer, dotted with boats and buildings along the shoreline. The overall atmosphere is one of grandeur and serenity, despite the cloudy weather.

That feeling when you get an exciting new ccd installed on your spectrograph and then it snows all night ... it's snow laughing matter, but at least it's nothing Sirius.
