Leuschner Observatory, originally called the Students' Observatory, is an observatory jointly operated by the University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco State University. The observatory was built in 1886 on the Berkeley campus. For many years, it was directed by Armin Otto Leuschner, for whom the observatory was renamed in 1951. In 1965, it was relocated to its present home in Lafayette, California, approximately 10 miles (16 km) east of the Berkeley campus. In 2012, the physics and astronomy department of San Francisco State University became a partner.

  • Leuschner Observatory, originally called the Students' Observatory, is an observatory jointly operated by the University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco State University. The observatory was built in 1886 on the Berkeley campus. For many years, it was directed by Armin Otto Leuschner, for whom the observatory was renamed in 1951. In 1965, it was relocated to its present home in Lafayette, California, approximately 10 miles (16 km) east of the Berkeley campus. In 2012, the physics and astronomy department of San Francisco State University became a partner. Presently, Leuschner Observatory has two operating telescopes. One is a 30-inch (760 mm) optical telescope, equipped with a CCD for observations in visible light and an infrared detector used for infrared astronomy. The other is a 12-foot (3.7 m) radio dish used for an undergraduate radio astronomy course. The observatory has been used to perform professional astronomy research, such as orbit determination of small solar system bodies in the early 1900s and supernova surveys in the 1980s and 1990s. It has also served as a primary tool in the education of graduate and undergraduate students at UC Berkeley. (en)
  • L'Osservatorio Leuschner, originariamente chiamato Osservatorio degli Studenti (in inglese: Students' Observatory), è un osservatorio astronomico gestito congiuntamente dall'Università della California, Berkeley e dalla San Francisco State University. Fu costruito nel campus di Berkeley nel 1886, e per molti anni è stato diretto dall'astronomo Armin Otto Leuschner, al quale nel 1951 l'osservatorio fu dedicato. Nel 1965 è stato trasferito presso la sua sede attuale, nella cittadina di Lafayette. Nel 2012 il dipartimento di fisica e astronomia della San Francisco State ne è diventato partner. Attualmente l'osservatorio possiede due telescopi operativi. Uno è un telescopio ottico da 76 cm, equipaggiato con un CCD per le osservazioni nello spettro visibile e un rilevatore di infrarossi per l'astronomia dell'infrarosso. L'altro è un radiotelescopio da 3,7 metri utilizzato in supporto ad un corso universitario di radioastronomia. L'osservatorio è stato usato per eseguire ricerche astronomiche professionali, come la determinazione delle orbite dei corpi minori del sistema solare nei primi anni del Novecento, o gli studi sulle supernove fra gli anni '80 e '90.

  • Leuschner Observatory, ursprungligen Students' Observatory, är ett observatorium i Kalifornien. Observatoriet grundades 1886 på universitetsområdet i Berkeley. Under många år var Armin Otto Leuschner dess föreståndare och 1951, ett par år före hans död, uppkallades observatoriet efter honom. År 1965 förflyttades det till sin nuvarande plats i Lafayette, uppskattningsvis 16 kilometer öster om Berkeley. År 2012 blev fysik- och astronomiinstitutionen vid San Francisco State University samarbetspartner till University of California kring observatoriet. (sv)
