Description:

En Ру

Located 3.5 km from Siab Bazaar and approximately 5 km from the city center. The museum tells what happened here (in Uzbek and English). What remains of the observatory itself is a hill, inside of which there is a 30-meter arc of a sectarian built in 1420, which was used to measure the height of celestial bodies above the horizon. Using this device, Ulugbek and his associates compiled a detailed map of the starry sky. In 2012, the observatory was thoroughly restored and the building took on its natural appearance. Inside the observatory there is a museum with many exhibits and models of buildings of ancient Samarkand.

Расположена в 3,5 км от Сиабского базара и примерно в 5 км от центра города. В музее рассказывается, что тут было (на узбекском и английском языках). От самой обсерватории остался холм, внутри которого находится 30-метровая дуга сектанта 1420 года постройки, использовавшегося для измерения высоты небесных светил над горизонтом. При помощи этого прибора Улугбек и его соратники составляли подробную карту звездного неба. В 2012 году обсерваторию капитально отреставрировали и здание приняло свой естественный вид. Внутри обсерватории расположен музей со множеством экспонатов и макетами зданий древнего Самарканда.
