This is a list of observatory codes (IAU codes or MPC codes) published by the Minor Planet Center. [1] For a detailed description, see observations of small Solar System bodies . List
It is located close to Villa Il Gioiello, the residence of Galileo Galilei from 1631 to 1642. Observatory staff carry out theoretical and observational astronomy as well as designing and constructing astronomical instrumentation. The observatory has been heavily involved with the following instrumentation projects: The MMT 6.5 m telescope
The Galileo National Telescope, (Italian: Telescopio Nazionale Galileo; TNG; code: Z19) is a 3.58-meter Italian telescope, located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain.
Galileo Solar Space Telescope – Multi-mission Platform (GSST-PMM) [1] is a mission proposed by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) that aims to precisely measure the solar radiation at the top of the Earth's atmosphere, the magnetic field in the photosphere and the upper solar atmosphere.
The MPC assigns a 3 digit observatory code for each observatory, also known as 'MPC-' or 'IAU codes'. The code is in the range 000 to Z99 and serves as a unique identifier for the reported observations. The MPC periodically published a revised "List Of Observatory Codes" with newly registered observatories in their Minor Planet Circulars.
The planetarium (Zeiss projector Model M V) itself is located in the centre, it has over 100 projectors and is approximately 5 metres (16 ft) in height and 2.5 tons in weight. It consists of a cylindrical framework with independent projectors for the Moon, the Sun and the visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) and two ...
This was the closest of all the flybys of Io. The moon provided a gravity-assist necessary for Galileo ' s ultimate collision course with Jupiter. A safing event 28 minutes before closest approach prevented most of the planned data from being collected. Galileo ' s cameras were deactivated, after they had sustained irreparable radiation damage.
The Asiago Astrophysical Observatory (Osservatorio Astrofisico di Asiago, or Asiago Observatory for short) is an Italian astronomical observatory (IAU code 043) owned and operated by the University of Padua. Founded in 1942, it is located on the plateau of Asiago, 90 kilometers northwest of Padua, near the town of Asiago.
