John Bunyan opened his celestial observatory to Berthoud school students during the 1930s and ’40s. Clyde Hodge maintains that tradition as he prepares to lead a tour of local third-graders through the observatory.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

El Observatorio Bunyan en el Museo de los Pioneros de Little Thompson Valley es una r\u00e9plica funcional del observatorio astron\u00f3mico en el patio que el banquero John Bunyan construy\u00f3 en su casa de Berthoud en 1933.<\/p>

Equipado con el telescopio Brashear original de Bunyan (6 pulgadas de di\u00e1metro y casi 7 pies de largo), el observatorio es una exhibici\u00f3n durante el horario habitual del museo y un sitio para la observaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica de las estrellas el primer viernes por la noche de cada mes a partir del anochecer.<\/p>

The observatory may also be scheduled for special group tours and celestial viewing –\u00a0click here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to request more information.<\/p>

John Bunyan, presidente del Berthoud National Bank de 1912 a 1948, desarroll\u00f3 una pasi\u00f3n por la astronom\u00eda mientras asist\u00eda a la Universidad de Colorado en la d\u00e9cada de 1890. En 1956, los problemas de visi\u00f3n de Bunyan lo llevaron a donar el edificio del observatorio y su contenido a su alma mater. La Universidad de Colorado devolvi\u00f3 el telescopio de Bunyan a la Sociedad Hist\u00f3rica Berthoud en 1998 y en 2003-04 se construy\u00f3 una r\u00e9plica funcional del observatorio.<\/p>

Berthoud, Colorado, (pop. 5,000)\u00a0is a town with two astronomical observatories.
