Summary
[edit]| Description |
Afrikaans: Suidaansig op die hoofgebou van die Koninklike Sterrewag aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop, geleë in Observatory, Kaapstad. Bouwerk het in 1825 begin, met John Skirrow as boukontrakteur, en teen 1829 is gereelde sterrekundige waarnemings uitgevoer. Die gebou het aanvanklik teleskoopkoepels op albei suidvleuels gehad. Die geriewe is sedert 1972 ingelyf by die Suid-Afrikaanse Astronomiese Observatorium (SAAO), en die teleskope word tans by Sutherland in die Noord-Kaap gehuisves.
English: Southern aspect of the main building of the (former) Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, situated in Observatory, Cape Town. Construction commenced in 1825, with John Skirrow as contractor, and by 1829 regular astronomical observations were being carried out. The building initially had telescope domes on each of the south wings. These facilities were amalgamated with those of the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) in 1972, and the telescopes are currently housed at Sutherland in the Northern Cape.
