About Observatory names

Real observatories are rarely named for the sky. Most take the name of the ground they stand on, the person who paid for the telescope, or the school that runs it. Optical telescopes need high, dry, dark sites, so mountain, ridge and desert names are the most common pattern: Kestrel Ridge Observatory, Mount Halloran Observatory, Saltbrush Flats Observatory. Donor names such as Whitlock Memorial Observatory are the second big family, and a campus dome simply borrows the name of its college.

Other kinds of site have their own vocabulary. Radio telescopes often work in groups and want radio-quiet valleys and plains, so they are called arrays, interferometers and dish fields. Solar telescopes are often built as towers. Many historic national observatories were founded to keep accurate time and to help ships find their longitude, which is why that style pairs Royal, Imperial or National with a port or a capital, as in Royal Observatory of Carrowmere.

This list of 1,000 names covers all of those, plus public observatories and planetariums, backyard domes with a sense of humor (Cloudy Again Observatory), polar and island stations, fantasy star towers, orbital and lunar platforms for science fiction, and a short set in other languages, where Sternwarte, observatoire, observatorio and tenmondai all mean observatory.

How to choose Observatory names

  • Start with the site. Decide whether the telescope sits on a mountain, a desert flat, an island or a campus roof, then put that landform in the name: Ridge, Peak, Mesa, Flats, Point.
  • Match the role word to the instrument. Observatory suits an optical dome, Array or Interferometer a field of radio dishes, Solar Tower a sun telescope, and Planetarium a domed theater that projects the sky rather than observing it.
  • For a donor or memorial name, give the invented person a full name once and shorten it afterwards, the way staff would turn Whitlock Memorial Observatory into "the Whitlock."
  • Fantasy settings rarely say observatory. Tower, Spire, Orrery, Starwatch and Stair sound older, and a keeper's title such as Astrologer, Comet-Warden or Star-Clerk tells players who lives there.
  • Naming a real backyard or club observatory? Search the name first. A great many small observatories exist, and a name on this list can match one by coincidence.

Frequently asked questions

How are real observatories usually named?

Most take the name of their site, of a founder or donor, or of the institution that operates them. A site name is a landform plus Observatory, a donor name often adds Memorial, and a university observatory carries the name of the school. Individual telescopes inside an observatory frequently get names of their own, usually after a donor or the size of the main mirror or lens.

Are the names on this page real observatories?

No. The list is written as fiction: mountains, towns, colleges and founders such as Mount Halloran Observatory and The Harriet Dunmore Observatory are made up, and Royal, Imperial and National names always carry a made-up place. Star names and features of the Moon and planets are real. A name can still match a small real observatory by coincidence, so search it before you use it in public.

What is a good name for a backyard observatory?

Amateur astronomers often name a home dome or roll-off shed after the property, a pet or a running joke about the weather. The list has plain ones like Back Forty Observatory and Weathervane Farm Observatory and jokes like Cloudy Again Observatory, Collimation Acres and Bad Seeing Farm. Pick one you will still enjoy writing at the top of an observing log.

What should I call an observatory in a fantasy or science fiction setting?

For fantasy, name the building and its keeper: Starfall Tower, The Astrologer's Spire, Tower of Counted Comets. For science fiction, name the location and the job, as in Shackleton Shadow Observatory, Farside Quiet Crater Array or Heliopause Listening Buoy. Astrology appears only in the fantasy names; the rest of the list is astronomy.
