Goethe Link Observatory
The Goethe Link Observatory is an astronomical observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana (USA), owned by Indiana University and operated by the Indiana Astronomical Society. It is named in honour of Dr. Goethe Link, an Indianapolis surgeon, who built it with his private funds. Construction of the observatory started in 1937, and the telescope was first operated in 1939. Link donated the observatory to Indiana University in 1948.
A number of asteroid discoveries were made there, including 1578 Kirkwood.〔(JPL Small-Body Database Browser: 1578 Kirkwood )〕 These are credited by the Minor Planet Center under the name "Indiana University," which operated the Indiana Asteroid Program at Goethe Link from 1949 until 1967 using
a ''f/''6.5 Cooke triplet astrograph.〔Thomas Gehrels, ("The Indiana Asteroid Program," ''Astronomical Journal'', v. 63, No. 1256 (February 1958), p. 50. )〕 The asteroid 1728 Goethe Link was discovered there on October 12, 1964.〔(JPL Small-Body Database Browser: 1728 Goethe Link )〕
When light pollution began to degrade the Goethe Link Observatory's capabilities in the 1960s, Indiana University built a new facility in the Morgan–Monroe State Forest officially designated as the Morgan–Monroe Station (MMS) of the Goethe Link Observatories.〔(Indiana University Department of Astronomy: Morgan–Monroe Observatory ) and (Indiana University Department of Astronomy: Research Facilities )〕
