Donated, one observatory

The largest privately‐owned observatory in Florida has been given to the University of Miami and its School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences by an anonymous donor, an amateur astronomer. The observatory, located on a ten‐acre tract in western Palm Beach county, is housed in three recently constructed buildings which include small living quarters that will enable researchers to stay at the site. It is equipped with two telescopes, a ten‐inch Perkin‐Elmer apochromat refractor and an eighteen‐inch Newtonian reflector, plus related equipment.
