Ulugh Beg Observatory
最佳游览时间
Spring or autumn gives the most pleasant temperature for walking around the area. Morning or late afternoon gives the best light for photographing the sextant's marble arc.
预算提示
The entrance fee is low, about 20,000 som (just under 20 SEK). Samarkand's combination ticket for several sights does not include the observatory, so pay separately.

关于
快速信息: Här mätte astronomen Ulugh Beg stjärnornas positioner med en sextant som hade en radie på hela 40 meter. Hans stjärnkatalog från 1400-talet var så precis att den användes av västerländska astronomer flera hundra år senare.
亮点: Den jättelika sextanten är inte ovanför marken utan grävd djupt ner i jordskrevan, så bara en båge av marmor sticker upp. På dess 40 meter långa valv mätte Ulugh Beg solens och planeternas positioner med en noggrannhet som skulle dröja två århundraden innan européerna matchade.
内部小贴士
- First go down into the excavation tunnel and look up along the marble arc to really grasp the size.
- The museum next door shows Ulugh Beg's original manuscripts and astronomical instruments, do not miss it.
- Visit on a weekday in the middle of the day to avoid the tourist groups that usually arrive between 10 and 11.
- Combine with a walk to Ulugh Beg's observatory hill for a view over all of Samarkand.
