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.
