About
300BC the most famous observatory of classical times was built by the Greeks
in Alexandria. It was probably equipped with instruments, such as the astrolabe,
by which the celestial latitude and longitude of a star or planet could
be measured. The Alexandria observatory existed for approximately
500 years.
Since observatory
comes from the word observe, which means to watch carefully (the
way something happens or someone does something), especially in order to
learn more about it, we have chosen to place the sites that deal with science
and nature in this area. Here you may find a site about an endangered
species, pets, flowers and gardening, a new asteroid, alternative power, medical discoveries, modern
physics, recycling or even how the internet works.
