An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial or celestial events. Observatories can be used for a variety of scientific disciplines, including astronomy, climatology, geology, meteorology, and volcanology. The word "observatory" is derived from the Latin word observare, which means "to watch". In Hebrew, an observatory is called מִצְפֵּה (mitspe). In Spanish, it is observatorio, in French observatoire, and in German Observatorium. Historically, observatories were as simple as containing an astronomical sextant (for measuring the distance between two objects) or Stonehenge (which, in addition to being a temple, could have been used as a simple observatory). Modern observatories often contain one or more telescopes or other instruments, and may be situated on the ground, in an aircraft, a spacecraft, or even in outer space itself. Some observatories are used for two or more of these sciences. For example, the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii is used for both atmospheric and astronomical research. The South Pole Observatory is largely for neutrino and cosmic ray detection.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
Enter the word Observatory and press enter or button Convert. This will provide all selected gematria values for Observatory.
The site is designed to be compatible with common online tools and calculators, including the shematria gematria calculator and other popular gematria tools.
