Dominion Astrophysical Observatory

The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, located on Observatory Hill, in Saanich, British Columbia,〔(BCGNIS entry "Observatory Hill" )〕 was completed in 1918 by the Canadian government. The Dominion Architect responsible for the building was Edgar Lewis Horwood.〔http://dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/architects/view/1529 Edgar Lewis Horwood〕 The main instrument is the 72 inch (1.83 meter) aperture Plaskett telescope, proposed and designed by John S. Plaskett in 1910 with the support of the International Union for Cooperation in Solar Research. It was planned to be the largest telescope in the world but delays meant it was completed and saw "first light" on May 6, 1918, 6 months after the 100-inch Hooker telescope (2.5 m) at Mount Wilson Observatory.〔Plaskett, J., Publications Astronomical Society Pacific 30, 267, 1918〕
The observatory has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada as it is a world-renowned facility where many discoveries about the nature of the Milky Way were made, and it was one of the world’s main astrophysical research centres until the 1960s.
==Centre of the Universe==
Centre of the Universe was the public interpretive centre for the observatory that was regularly open to the public between May and September. The centre featured interactive exhibits about astronomy, the work of the observatory and its parent organization, the NRC Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics. There were also tours of the telescope and programs in the planetarium and video theatre. The Centre was closed by the Federal Government in August 2013, claiming financial reasons as the cost.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/outreach/cu/ )〕 MLA Lana Popham is acquiring signatures on a hard copy petition that will be presented by her colleagues in the House of Commons.〔http://www.vicnews.com/news/216236041.html〕
The Friends of the Saanich Observatory continue to host public star-gazing events at the observatory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://saanichobservatory.blogspot.com/ )
