Glossary term: 天文臺
Description: 天文臺是專門用於天文觀測的場所或建築。光學和紅外觀測通常使用安裝在穹頂中的望遠鏡，這些穹頂能在惡劣天氣時保護望遠鏡。射電望遠鏡和一些亞毫米望遠鏡則通常直接置於室外。現代地面光學、紅外或亞毫米天文臺通常建在山頂，以儘量減少大氣層的影響。這些天文臺配備了專業儀器，如望遠鏡、攝像機和光譜儀。而射電天文臺和宇宙線觀測站對高海拔位置的需求相對較小。電磁波的其他部分（伽馬射線、X射線、紫外輻射和較長波長的紅外輻射）可以通過專門的空間望遠鏡進行觀測，這些空間望遠鏡有時也被稱為天文臺。不同地點的射電望遠鏡觀測數據可以結合在一起，這些多地觀測站通常統稱為一個天文臺。
