"The Ursa observatory in Helsinki's Kaivopuisto is the visible hallmark of its highest hill and a well-known symbol of Helsinki. The observatory was completed in 1926. The observatory is easily accessible and is still in active use by both stargazers and the public. The Observatory is in active use: during winter evenings we observe planets, the Moon , Nebulae and other celestial objects. After the evenings have turned too light we observe the Sun, safely, on Sunday afternoons. In clear weather / When the sky is clear 15.1.–15.3.
