| Yerkes Observatory: University of Chicago's Observatory in Wisconsin |
Here is the Yerkes Observatory owned by University of Chicago even though it is roughly two-hours drive from the university. Yerkes is a home of
the world biggest refracting telescope.
I just feel like I should visit more observatories, not just because I want to travel to many different places, but also because they always remind me of what my dream was like when I was a kid. About 15s in front of the observatory that night was amazing. The sky is clear, but I could not remember anymore what are these constellations. The actually telescopes are located in both side of this building with this in the middle.
