New Observatory Shall Lead to Many Great Discoveries!

1276 A.D.

A new astronomical observatory has been built in Gaocheng.  It was built by order of Emperor Kublai Khan, along with 26 others that have not been built yet.  This new observatory will bring honor with its discoveries.

This new and advanced observatory will improve our understanding of astronomy. It will help us observe the movement of the sun and stars.  Our observations with this observatory may help us make a new calender!  The observatory is bound to attract astronomers and help them make discoveries.

Some people have gone against this wonderful idea, saying that it's wasting money and that the workers were forced away from their families.  It was built in Gaocheng, so the majority of the workers were from the area and not far from their families.  As for money, the price of the observatory can easily be earned back through trade.

The new Gaocheng Astronomical Observatory should be a respected sight.  The emperor should continue his plans and build all 27 observatories.  The people of China should aspire to be astronomers so they can make many discoveries with the observatory.
