Most optical telescopes are housed within a dome or similar structure, to protect the delicate instruments from the elements. Telescope domes have a slit or other opening in the roof that can be opened during observing, and closed when the telescope is not in use. In most cases, the entire upper portion of the telescope dome can be rotated to allow the instrument to observe different sections of the night sky. Radio telescopes usually do not have domes.
Those are the observatories.
There are thousands of observatories in the world, ranging from small amateur setups to large professional facilities. The exact number can vary as new observatories are built and existing ones are decommissioned.
The Millennium Dome in Greenwich, also known as The O2, was completed in December 1999. It was officially opened to the public on January 1, 2000, to mark the beginning of the new millennium.
It doesn't have to be big telescopes, there does not even have to be a telescope. It is called an observatory because it is a place where astronomical observations are made. Long before the first telescope was made there were observatories.
Yes, a Dome volcano and a Lava Dome volcano are the same. A Dome volcano is characterized by the formation of a dome-shaped mound of lava that accumulates around the volcanic vent. Lava Domes are typically associated with eruptions of viscous lava that solidifies quickly, leading to the dome-like structure.

I was there! Stray Cats baby!
A hemispherical roof is a type of roof that is shaped like a half-sphere. It is a rounded, dome-like structure that covers the top of a building or structure. Hemispherical roofs are known for their unique design and are often used in architectural structures like observatories or planetariums.
