COSMIC MESSAGE

You can take a subway to the Beijing Ancient Observatory, but you won't find telescopes there. Starting in the 1400s, astronomers used devices at this site to measure and track the positions of naked-eye stars and planets. Some of the large, ornate instruments are still standing. You can see the brightest stars from the observation platform today.
