The sky conditions at Udaipur are quite favourable for solar observations. Since the observatory is situated amidst a large mass of water, air turbulence which occurs due to ground heating by sun s rays is decreased. This improves the image quality and accuracy average between 1 2 arc seconds . History The observatory was built in the year 1976 by Arvind Bhatnagar Dr. Arvind Bhatnagar following the model of the SolarObservatory at Big Bear lake in Southern California. Later, he was joined by Dr. Ashok Ambastha in 1983 and subsequently by others who have contributed to its development. Telescopes Utilizing a variety of telescopes, USO is known for its solar observations, which include high resolution Sun solar chromospheric, magnetic field , velocity , and spectral observations, for studies pertaining to solar flare s, mass ejections , and the evolution of solar active regions . USO fills the large longitudinal gap between Australia and Spain, and provides a link for continuous solar coverage in international collaborative programs, including the Global Oscillations Network Group GONG .

Eight were launched successfully by NASA between 1962 and 1975 using Delta rocket s. Their primary mission was to observe an 11 year sun spot cycle in ultraviolet UV and X ray spectra. The initial seven, OSO 1 , OSO 2 , OSO 3 , OSO 4 , OSO 5 , OSO 6 and OSO 7 , were built by Ball Aerospace , then known as Ball Brothers Research Corporation BBRC , in Boulder Colorado. OSO 8 was built by Hughes Space and Communications Company, in Culver City, California. The basic design of the entire series featurured a rotating section, the Wheel, to provide gyroscopic stability. A second section, the Sail, was driven electrically against the Wheel s rotation, and stabilized to point at the Sun. The Sail carried pointed solar instruments, and also the array of solar photovoltaic cells which powered the spacecraft. The critical bearing between the Wheel and the Sail was a major feature of the design, as it had to operate smoothly for months in the hard vacuum of space without normal lubrication. It also carried both the power from the Sail and the data from the pointed solar instruments to the Wheel, where most of the spacecraft functions were located. Additional science instruments could also be located in the Wheel, generally looking out on a rotating radius vector which scanned the sky, and also across the Sun, every few seconds.

primarysources date December 2010 The National Obesity Observatory NOO is a publicly funded body that is part of a network of Public Health Observatories across Britain and Ireland. It publishes data, information, and intelligence related to obesity, overweight, and their underlying causes. NOO works closely with a wide range of organisations to assist policy makers and practitioners who are involved in understanding and tackling obesity at population level. It does this through analysing and interpreting research and data to produce reports and briefings. To support these activities it also produces analytical and data visualisation tools. These are used, for example, to map obesity and associated determinants at national, regional and local levels. Members of NOO were instrumental in establishing the National Child Measurement Programme NCMP . Analysis and interpretation of the NCMP dataset is a core element of NOO s work. NOO is a member of the Public health observatory Association of Public Health Observatories .

Equipped with a Hershel telescope, it took over the purely astronomical work of the naval observatory, the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada , in the south of the country. The Royal Observatory was designed by Juan de Villanueva and represents one of the highlights of Spanish neoclassical architecture . Its domed lantern was conceived as a classical circular temple. It houses historic scientific equipment and a library, which can be visited by prior arrangement.
