What are observatories?

An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial and/or celestial events. Astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geology, oceanography and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed. The term is usually applied to astronomical observatories that have one or more large telescopes. Optical telescopes have been built at higher altitudes to avoid atmospheric interference. The Hubble Space Telescope is an orbital observatory launched in 1990.
