Astronomical observatories whose telescopes and staff produced much of the observational record of the heavens, including the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, Mount Wilson and the Harvard College Observatory. An institution belongs here when its cited article calls it an observatory. It excludes natural history museums and botanical collections, which sit in their own group. Browse By lists these entries together so that a reader can move from one to the next and compare how each is described in the sources of the atlas.
