Abstract from DBPedia
    An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial, marine, or celestial events. Astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geophysical, oceanography and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed. Historically, observatories were as simple as containing an astronomical sextant (for measuring the distance between stars) or Stonehenge (which has some alignments on astronomical phenomena).

    観測施設 (かんそくしせつ) または観測所 (かんそくじょ、英語: Observatory) とは、天文・地震・気象などの自然現象を観測し、記録する施設のことである。観測施設で観測されたデータは予測、研究や防災など様々に活用される。

    天文台（てんもんだい、英語: Astronomical observatory）は、天体や天文現象の観測を行ったり、観測結果を解析して天文学の研究を行うための施設。現代では学術研究目的以外に、宇宙の観察や学習といった天文教育・普及活動の拠点としての性格を持つ天文台もある。
