The Midnight Observatory is a massive, ground-based optical telescope located on the surface of Wolf Totem, Heart of Tengri system.

The Observatory was constructed in 196,112 CE, funded primarily by the [[The Quara'ke Trifecta|'''''Quara'ke Trifecta''''']] and the [[Autonomous Republic of Embala|'''''Autonomous Republic of Embala''''']] in a joint effort to peer into the earlier days of the universe.. Originally, the QUO was going to be around 80 metres in diameter, but this was later changed to allow the telescope to view further at higher levels of detail. The current diameter is 110 metres, though there are requests to enlarge this to 150 metres. Originally, QUO was designed to be a research outpost on a moon on the outskirts of the [[Embala Galaxy|'''''Embala Galaxy''''']] but has since become a multipurpose outpost. It is mostly used to study and observe the early universe in order to help further the Quara'ke Trifecta's knowledge of how galaxies form among other things.[[Category:Unfinished]]

With a primary mirror measuring an impressive 80 meters in diameter, the Observatory is capable of observing both nearby and distant galaxies with moderate to high detail, making it a critical asset for deep-space research and cosmological exploration.

Overview

The Midnight Observatory is a massive, ground-based optical telescope located on the surface of Wolf Totem, Heart of Tengri system. Renowned for its clarity and scale, it is among the largest telescopes in the Edelweiss Galaxy and stands as a centerpiece of the SnowStorm Union’s scientific achievements.

With a primary mirror measuring an impressive 80 meters in diameter, the Observatory is capable of observing both nearby and distant galaxies with moderate to high detail, making it a critical asset for deep-space research and cosmological exploration.
