    Ainola, meaning Aino's place, was the home of the composer Jean Sibelius, his wife Aino and their family from the autumn of 1904 until 1972.

    This is a list of astronomical observatories ordered by name, along with initial dates of operation and location. The list also includes a final year of operation for many observatories that are no longer in operation. While other sciences, such as volcanology and meteorology, also use facilities called observatories for research and observations, this list is limited to observatories that are used to observe celestial objects. Astronomical observatories are mainly divided into four categories: space-based, airborne, ground-based, and underground-based.
