Angell Hall Observatory, Astronomical observatory at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States.

The Angell Hall Observatory contains a 0.4-meter Cassegrain telescope within its single dome and a small radio telescope on the roof.

The observatory began operations in 1927 as part of the University of Michigan's expansion of astronomical research and educational facilities.

Visitors can access multiple telescopes, including the main reflector telescope and several 20-centimeter Schmidt-Cassegrain instruments for night sky viewing.

The facility includes a teaching planetarium with a Zeiss projector that displays 7,000 stars and demonstrates celestial movements in accelerated time.
