SydneyoBserVatory:The Australian Sydney Observatory is located on the top of a hill called Astronomy Hill (Windmill Hill) in the heart of Sydney, and is a museum about astronomy and the only place in Sydney where astronomical phenomena can be observed.

In 1982, the government transformed the Sydney Observatory In 1982, the government transformed the Sydney Observatory into an astronomy museum with many exhibitions, including astrological tables, interactive computers and games to explain the principles of astronomy to visitors.

Visits to the Sydney Observatory can be divided into daytime visits and nighttime visits. During daytime visits, visitors can view the sky through a solar telescope, where they can appreciate the sun, the glowing stars, and even the moon and Venus. Another feature of daytime viewing is the ability to watch 3D space movies, which is also a very new and strange experience. The daytime viewing hours are from 10am to 5pm and is open year-round except for Christmas, Boxing Day and Good Friday.

Nighttime visits are an exciting experience, as visitors can view the stars through Australia's oldest lenticular refractor telescope, made in 1874, or through a computer-controlled reflecting telescope, which can view stars, double stars, star clusters, moons, planets and nebulae. Viewing times are determined by weather conditions in different months, but nighttime viewing requires advance reservations via phone or the Internet.

Sydney Observatory also supports IOS mobile applications, so you can enjoy the beautiful stars in the sky online through your cell phone.

Sydney Observatory, built in 1858, is Australia's oldest observatory and one of the most important sites in the history of national science. It is recognized as a project of "national significance" by the New South Wales Government and is on the Heritage List.

The Observatory was essential in the 19th and early 20th centuries for the study of navigation, navigation, meteorology and timekeeping, and the stars seen from the Southern Hemisphere. Until 1982 when government astronomers worked and lived in the building, the Sydney Observatory became part of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences.

Today the Observatory is a museum and public observatory with an important role in astronomy education and public telescope viewing. It contains an 187429 cm lens telescope, a 42 cm computer-controlled telescope and a hydrogen-alpha solar telescope, which can be viewed by visitors at booking sessions. There is also a virtual reality 3D space theater, astronomy, meteorology and the history of Sydney Observatory, a comfortable planetarium, lecture theatrette, souvenir store and beautiful garden exhibits.

Sydney Observatory is located in the historic Rocks area and near the world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, easily accessible by bus, train, boat or car.
