Location of Karachi University Observatory (KU Observatory)

The K.U. Observatory or Karachi University Observatory (Urdu: جامعہِ کراچی رصد گاہ) is located in the campus area of Karachi University. The KU space observatory is operated by the Institute of Space and Planetary Astrophysics.[1][2] The space observatory was last built in 1995 as a part of Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The KU Observatory can resist all seismological challenges as its pillars go 15 feet deep into the ground.[3][4] The telescope has a motor that keeps pace with the movement of the earth making any object under view always visible without any readjustments.

Important observations

In 1976 an observation of comet Wardell-76a was first made. The comet has an orbital period of over 20,000 years. Initial measurements indicated that there is no chance of a collision with the earth.
