dc.description.abstractLatvijas Universitātes Muzeja virtuālā izstāde „Astronomiskajam tornim – 150” veltīta labi pamanāmai Latvijas Universitātes galvenās ēkas iezīmei – Astronomiskajam tornim uz tās jumta. 2019. gadā ēkai un arī tornim apritēja 150 gadi. Rīgas Politehnikuma laikos te strādājuši dažādi ārzemju profesori, kas veica astronomiskus novērojumus un mācīja studentus. Nodibinoties Latvijas Universitātei, tornis kļuva par Astronomiskās observatorijas sastāvdaļu. Kopš 1986. gada te notiek regulāri debess spīdekļu demonstrējumi, skatītas komētas, Saules aptumsumi un citas samērā retas astronomiskas parādības. Astronomiskais tornis ir kā logs uz debesīm vairāk nekā 150 gadu garumā. Mainījušies teleskopi, novērojumu mērķi un apmeklētāji, bet atklājuma prieks, paša acīm ieraugot Saturna gredzenu vai tālu galaktiku, palicis nemainīgs.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe virtual exhibition of the Museum of the University of Latvia “150 Years of Astronomical Tower” is dedicated to a prominent feature of the main building of the University of Latvia - the Astronomical Tower on its roof. In 2019, the building and also the tower turned 150 years old. During the time of Riga Polytechnic, various foreign professors worked here, making astronomical observations and teaching students. With the establishment of the University of Latvia, the tower became part of the Astronomical Observatory. Since 1986, there have been regular demonstrations of celestial lights, comets, solar eclipses and other relatively rare astronomical phenomena. The astronomical tower has been like a window to the sky for more than 150 years. Telescopes, sightings, and visitors have changed, but the joy of discovery in seeing Saturn's ring or a distant galaxy with one's own eyes has remained the same.
