  4. The observatory, in a Classical Revival style structure, was constructed between 1876 and 1887, from a bequest from James Lick of $700,000, equivalent to $23,737,778 in 2023. [2] [3] Lick, originally a carpenter and piano maker, had arrived from Peru in San Francisco, California, in late 1847; after accruing significant wealth he began making ...

    This list is based on MPC's periodically published and revised "List Of Observatory Codes". Over time, the number of astronomical observatories worldwide has been growing constantly. As of May 2016, MPC's official list contains a total of 1972 observatories. [1] The registry is limited to observatories which perform minor planet observations.

  6. Airborne observatory. Radio observatory. Microwave observatory. Ground-based observatory. Solar observatory. Neutrino detector. Cosmic-ray observatory. Educational observatory. This is a partial list of astronomical observatories ordered by name, along with initial dates of operation (where an accurate date is available) and location.

  7. The MPC provides a list of MPC observatory codes. For each, you get the three-character code, longitude, parallax constants rho cos phi' and rho sin phi' (ρsin (φ') and ρcos (φ')) and the observatory name. An on-line converter between parallax constants and latitude/altitude is available. My list adds the geodetic latitudes and altitudes ...

  8. Mar 3, 2010 · The codes are used in cataloguing astrometric observations of small bodies in the solar system. A code is unique for a certain location and consists of three digits or one letter and two digits. In this representation, we give the observatory code, the geocentric coordinates, and the observatory designation.
