Watching the skies

Must be time for another abandoned post, again it's from the people at WebUrbanist - Watch Out: 15 eerie abandoned observatories. 

Austral Felix Aguilar Observatory in Santa Cruz, Patagonia

Observatorio Astronomico, Lisbon

Warner & Swasey Observatory, Cleveland

I must admit I scrolled through the list to see if the Mt Stromlo Observatory rated a mention. It didn't so I've included one photo of my own.
Mt Stromlo was established in 1924 to study the origin of the universe.
Stromlo was a victim of the January 2003 firestorm which raced through the Canberra suburbs, more than 530 homes were lost and several people died.
The Mt Stromlo facility was in the fire's path as it raced up the mountain, and most buildings and all but one of the large and historic telescopes were destroyed by the fire.
Observatory work recommenced shortly after, and restoration of the site continues.

74" reflecting telescope, erected in 1953, was the largest in the Southern Hemisphere
