Colombia 1946 – Bogotá Observatory
Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, was the site of the first astronomical observatory in
South America, illustrated on this pair of stamps issued in 1946. It was opened
in 1803, but due to political upheaval its accomplishments were only sporadic.
It still houses the offices of the National Observatory of Colombia, but
observations are no longer conducted here.
