Description: 
This observatory is soon to be reorganized into a new planetary 
institute with the task of studying physical conditions on the moon and on 
planets of the solar system. To accomplish this task, a large planetary 
telescope will be installed, The reorganization is an outgrowth of the 
Observatory’s extensive studies of the sun, the moon, Mars, and other 
planets. 
The Observatory cooperated in the photography and mapping of the 
far side of the moon. Studies have long been directed toward determining 
the surface characteristics of the moon and Mars. Radio emission of the 
sun, time studies (using electronic-computer apparatus), star-catalogue 
compilation, problems of the irregularity of the earth's rotation, solar 
corona, and mathematics (for example, Chebyshev approximations of a contin- 
uous function) constitute other areas of interest. The Observatory has 
instruments for observing artificial earth satellites. 
Publications include a Trudy and Tsirkulyar.
