An observatory is used to detect asteroids and early surveying of a solar system.

The system map does not require an observatory, so they are generally not needed outside of the homeworld's first city.

When a city has an observatory it will be able to warn about incoming asteroids. This will be shown in the city report of the city.

See the Asteroid page for more information.

Once a city has both an observatory and an airport radar, an automatic system survey is completed of the city's solar system.

See the System Survey page for more information.
