Ο παραδοσιακός οικισμός στην Πεντέλη
Η Πεντέλη είναι δημοτική κοινότητα του Δήμου Πεντέλης ο οποίος απαρτίζεται επίσης από τη Νέα Πεντέλη και τα Μελίσσια, όπου βρίσκεται η έδρα. Ο αγρο-κτηνοτροφικός οικισμός που αναπτύσσεται στην περιοχή στα προσεχή έτη είναι γνωστός ως Κουφός, προσελκύοντας Σαρακατσαναίους βοσκούς και Μαραθωνείς αγρότες. Στη νεότερα χρόνια, η ευρύτερη περιοχή προσελκύει λατόμους που έρχονται από όλη την Ελλάδα για να εκμεταλλευθούν το ξακουστό μάρμαρο του όρους.Ενδεικτική Βιβλιογραφία

Πεντέλη Αττικής
Διαδικτυακός Τόπος Δήμου Πεντέλης
Ιστορία του Πεντελικού ΌρουςΚατά τον 7ο αιώνα π.Χ. το όρος της Αττικής που βρίσκεται βορειοανατολικά των Αθηνών ονομάζεται Βριλησσός (που σημαίνει Ισχυρός Λίθος από τα συνθετικά βριάω-βριώ:έχω ισχύ + λάας:πέτρα + κατάληξη σος). Με αυτή την ονομασία συναντάμε το όρος σε κείμενα του Ηρόδοτου και του Θουκυδίδη. Υπάρχει μια σύγχυση της ονομασίας του όρους αυτού με έναν ποταμό της αρχαιότητας που παρουσιάζεται σε κάποια κείμενα με την ίδια ονομασία. Ορισμένοι συγχέουν τον ποταμό αυτό με τη μεγάλη ρεματιά που πηγάζει από τη σημερινή Νέα Πεντέλη, διέρχεται από Βριλήσσια και Μελίσσια και χύνεται στο δήμο Χαλανδραίων.
Πεντελικό Όρος
Τον 3ο αιώνα π.Χ. το όρος ονομάζεται Πεντέλη από το δήμο που εγκαθίσταται στο λόφο μπροστά από το βουνό (Αρχαίος Δήμος Πεντέλης), εκεί όπου βρίσκεται η σημερινή πλατεία Αγίας Τριάδος.
Κατά τους χριστιανικούς χρόνους οικοδομούνται πολλές μονές ανάμεσα στους ορεινούς όγκους του βουνού. Η πιο γνωστή είναι η Μονή Ταώ Παντοκράτωρος Σωτήρος Ιησού Χριστού που οικοδομείται επί ερειπωμένου ναού το 12ο αιώνα μ.Χ. από τον Νικόλαο Καμάτηρο, γόνο βυζαντινής οικογενείας (ο σημερινός ναός Νταού από παραφθορά της ονομασία Ταώ, λέξης αμφιλεγόμενης προέλευσης και ετυμολογίας). Αργότερα εγκαθίσταται στον ακατοίκητο λόφο η Ιερά Μονή Πεντέλης της Αρχιεπισκοπής των Αθηνών και ολόκληρη η έκταση του λόφου, αλλά και του Πεντελικού Όρους τίθεται πλέον υπό το ιδιοκτησιακό καθεστώς της Αρχιεπισκοπής. Η Μονή τιμάται στο όνομα Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου (φωτογραφία της Ιεράς Μονής Κοιμήσεως της Θετόκου της Πεντέλης). Ιδρύεται το 1578 από τον επίσκοπο Ευρίπου Άγιο Τιμόθεο και συγκεντρώνει πλήθος μοναχών.

National Observatory of Athens (
The National Observatory of Athens is a research institute in Athens, Greece. Founded in 1842, it is the oldest research foundation in Greece, as it was the first scientific research institute built after Greece became independent in 1829, and one of the oldest research institutes in Southern Europe.
The 2.3m Aristarchos telescope is the largest research infrastructure of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA).
It is an f/8 Ritchey-Chretien telescope, built by the Germany company Carl Zeiss GmbH,
which has an established tradition in telescope design and construction.
The Institute of Astronomy Astrophysics Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IAASARS) of NOA manages the telescope,
which is located at an altitude of 2340m at Helmos Observatory, approximately 220 km southwest of Athens, near the city of Kalavryta.
The Newall telescope is the most impressive instrument of the Observatory of Athens.
The lens is 25 inches in diameter (62.5 cm). Its tube is cigar-shaped and it is approximately 9 meters long. The whole construct weighs 9 tons.
It is equipped with three finder telescopes, two of which have a 10cm diameter and the third one a 15cm diameter. The instrument is so evenly balanced that, despite its weight, it can easily be moved by the observer. Its base is of German type, with hefty counter-weights, aiming circles and offers the ability to make fine adjustments of height and azimuth for its exact orientation.

Athens Travel Guide - Greece Magical Moments
Athens Travel Guide - Greece Magical Moments
Athens is the capital city of Greece. It is in many ways the birthplace of Classical Greece, and therefore of Western civilization. The design of the city is marked by Ottoman, Byzantine and Roman civilizations. Today, greater Athens is by far the economic, political and cultural center of modern Greece, with nearly half of the country's population.
The sprawling city is bounded on three sides by Mt Ymettos, Mt Parnitha and Mt Pendeli; whilst inside Athens are twelve hills [the seven historical ones are: Acropolis, Areopagus, Hill of Philopappus, Observatory Hill (Muses Hill), Pnyx, Lykavittos (Lycabettus), Tourkovounia (Anchesmus)], the Acropolis and Lykavittos being the most prominent.
Places of interest to travelers can be found within a relatively small area surrounding the city centre at Syntagma Square (Plateia Syntagmatos). This epicentre is surrounded by the districts of the Plaka to the south, Monastiraki and Thissio to the west, Kolonaki to the northeast and Omonia to the northwest.
The Acropolis— The ancient high city of Athens, crowned by marble temples sacred to the city's goddess Athena.
Plaka, Monastiraki and Thissio— Charming historic districts at the foot of the Acropolis, with restored 19th century neoclassical homes.
Kolonaki— Upscale residential area northeast of Syntagma with many cafes, boutiques and galleries.
Metaxourgeio—The district of Metaxourgeio, located northwest of Psiri, has become a bohemian enclave as well as a haven for art and culture. As part of the area's continual transformation, the principal gallery of the city, The Municipal Gallery, was relocated in October 2010 to Avdi Square, which is the main square of the area.
Omonia— Commercial area with a busy metro and one of the city's main hubs. Seedy in parts.
Exarcheia— Bohemian area and home to Greece's students, anarchists, artists and intellectuals, as well as the celebrated National Archaeological Museum.
Pangrati and Mets— These adjoining pleasant residential neighborhoods south of Lycabettos and east of the National Garden.
Psiri— Former industrial district located north of Monastiraki, now full of trendy and alternative restaurants, cafés, bars, small luxury hotels and shops.
Syntagma Square (Plateia Syntagmatos)— Dominated by the old Royal Palace which serves today as the Parliament building, Syntagma Square is the business district of Athens.
Kifissia— Suburb at the northern terminus of Line 1 (Green), known for its high-end shopping.
Nea Smyrni— Suburb about 5 km south of downtown Athens, known as a modern European district.
Piraeus— The ancient port six miles southwest of Athens city centre, Piraeus is known today as one of the biggest ports in Europe, serves most of Athens passenger connections to Crete and the Aegean Islands.
Zografou— Suburb 5 km east of downtown Athens on the slopes of Imitos, known for the many university (NTUA) buildings and several quirky bars and taverns sprinkled about.
Athens Riviera— Some call it the *Copacabana of Europe*, the coastline of Athens southeast suburbs with lots of nice beaches, sea promenades, marinas and night clubs, starting from the Flisvos Marina and streching all the way to the suburb of Varkiza. During the summer season it becomes the heart of the city's tourism and night life.
Glyfada— Suburb in south Athens district connected by tram. Glyfada (Pronounced GLI'FADA) combines shopping with many small cafés and restaurants. Located along the ocean and sports some beaches and beach bars.

Kryoneri Observatory - 360 VR Tour
Kryoneri Observatory (established in 1972) is located in the district of Corinth in the northern Peloponnese at the top of mount Kyllini, at an altitude of 930m, close to Kryoneri village. It is equipped with a 1.2 m Cassegrain reflector telescope manufactured and installed in 1975 by the British company Grubb Parsons Co., Newcastle. It is one of the largest telescopes in Greece, with many successful scientific observations during its long operation (scientific observations started in 1975). In 2016, the telescope was upgraded in the framework of the ESA program NELIOTA, to monitor the lunar surface for impacts of near-earth objects.
Lick Observatory 36 refractor Sep 2015
People observing the sky with the 36 refracting telescope at Lick Observatory, on Mt. Hamilton near San Jose, California.
In the first part of the observing session, we were looking at M15, a globular star cluster in Pegasus. Note the motion of the telescope, which is compensating for the Earth's rotation.
In the second part of the session, we were looking at NGC 6826, a planetary nebula in Cygnus. The rotation of the telescope mount is less obvious during this part of the video, but it's still there.
