I-Sydney Observatory ifumaneke entliziyweni yeSydney kwiintaba. Namhlanje isebenza njengemyuziyamu yelizwe lezona zinto zikhulu kunabo bonke e- Australia . Ukongezelela, ukwakheka kwendawo yokuhlola kuyomnye wemdala kunabo bonke, ekubeni yakhiwa ngo-1858 kwaye namhlanje igcina ukubukeka kwayo kwangaphambili.
Yintoni ongayibona?
Imbali yembonakalo iyimangalisa kuba ekupheleni kwekhulu le-18 i-windmill yema endaweni yayo, engazange ilandele iithemba zayo kwaye ekugqibeleni yashiywe, ngoko ke abahlali bayakhawuleza beba umthi kwaye bashiye kuphela iindonga. Ngo-1803, iFort Philip yasungulwa kule ndawo. Oku kwenziwa ukwenzela ukukhusela ummandla osondeleyo ukusuka ekuhlaselweni kweFrentshi. Ngomnyaka we-1825 udonga lwenqaba lwaguqulwa libe yikhululo lesiganeko. Ukususela kuwo iimpawu zithunyelwa kwiinqanawa ezikulo ndawo.
Umboniso owakwazi ukuwubona namhlanje wavulwa ngo-1858 waza wakhiwa ngesiseko senqaba. Kwakudingeka enze imisebenzi ebalulekileyo, ngoko i-astronomer eyinhloko yamiselwa iminyaka emibini ngaphambi kokufumanisa kwayo, yayinguWilliam Scott. Ukwakhiwa kwesi sakhiwo kuyinkimbinkimbi, kuba bekufuneka kube namagumbi amaninzi: igumbi lokubala, igumbi lokuhlala le-astronomer, igumbi elinamafasitele amancinci ekuqwalaseleni ngetelesiko. Kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini emva kokuvulwa kwelokugcina, iphiko lesentshona lugqityiwe, apho ithala leencwadi lenziwe khona, kunye nelinye idumba lavunyelwa ukufaka i-telescope yesibili yezinto ezifunyenwe ngeenkwenkwezi.
Namhlanje, umsebenzi owona mkhulu wemyuziyam yokulondoloza umdlalo ukufumana ukufikelela kweenkwenkwezi kunye nokuthandwa kweenkwenkwezi. Ukutyelela iSydney Observatory, unethuba lokubona ilayibrari kunye negumbi le-astronomer. Kwakhona kwimyuziyam ungayifumana indlela i-astronomy eyenziwa ngayo e-Australia. Ngoko kwimbonakaliso yamandulo kukho i-telescope ekhethekileyo, eyenziwe ngo-1874. I-lensenti ye-29 cm kunye ne-telescope enjalo yintsikelelo enkulu. Ngaphambi kokunqongophala kwe-telescope ye-alpha-hydrogen, enenjongo yokugcina ilanga. Bonke abavakatye kwiimyuziyam bafumana ithuba lokuthelekisa inqanaba leenkwenkwezi namhlanje kunye nekhulu kunye nesiqingatha esidlulileyo.
Kwakhona kwimyuziyam kukho ivenkile yezipho eziphathekayo kunye ne-planetarium phantsi kweedome elikhulu. Abo banomdla banokuya kwiintetho ngeenkwenkwezi, eziza kuvelela ngokukhethekileyo kwiindonga zecala lokugcina.
Uphi na?
I-Sydney Observatory ifumaneka kufuphi ne-Harbour Bridge, enokufikelela kuyo nawuphi na kwisixeko. Ngasemva kwendlela yokugcina i-Argyle Pl kwi-stop St St stop apho iNombolo No. 311 iyayeka. Kwibhloko ukusuka kwimibala ye-bhasi yokuma ibhasi 324 kunye nombolo 325.
