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.
