Shattuck Observatory, Astronomical observatory at Dartmouth College in Hanover, United States
The Shattuck Observatory features three wings and a two-story dome constructed with granite block foundations and red brick walls on Dartmouth College campus.
Dr. George C. Shattuck, a Dartmouth graduate from 1803, provided 7,000 dollars for the observatory construction in 1854, with matching funds from college trustees.
Graduate students from the Department of Physics and Astronomy organize public observation nights from September through May at the North Telescope facility.
Visitors can reach the observatory by turning right onto Observatory Road from East Wheelock Street, immediately after passing the Alumni Gymnasium.
The observatory maintains a 9.5-inch refracting telescope from 1872 and connects with major telescopes including the Southern African Large Telescope.
