Bosscha Observatory, District, Lembang, West Bandung Regency, West Java, Thursday (29/12/2022). The first modern sky observation facility in Southeast Asia has existed since January 1, 1923.

The cloudy weather on Thursday (29/12/2022) morning accompanied workers in renovating the buildings in the Bosscha Observatory complex in Lembang, West Bandung regency, West Java.

The aroma of white paint smelled. The biggest sky observer there, the Zeiss double refractor telescope, was wrapped with a protector as the building was being renovated. This building is the icon of the Bosscha Observatory, so it was a priority in the renovation process.
