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

L'observatoire Bunyan du Little Thompson Valley Pioneer Museum est une r\u00e9plique fonctionnelle de l'observatoire astronomique de la cour que le banquier John Bunyan a construit dans sa maison de Berthoud en 1933.<\/p>

\u00c9quip\u00e9 du t\u00e9lescope Brashear original de Bunyan (6 pouces de diam\u00e8tre et pr\u00e8s de 7 pieds de long), l'observatoire est une exposition pendant les heures normales d'ouverture du mus\u00e9e et un site public d'observation des \u00e9toiles le premier vendredi soir de chaque mois, \u00e0 partir du cr\u00e9puscule.<\/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, pr\u00e9sident de la Banque nationale Berthoud de 1912 \u00e0 1948, a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 une passion pour l'astronomie alors qu'il fr\u00e9quentait l'Universit\u00e9 du Colorado dans les ann\u00e9es 1890. En 1956, la vue d\u00e9faillante de Bunyan le poussa \u00e0 faire don du b\u00e2timent de l'observatoire et de son contenu \u00e0 son alma mater. L'Universit\u00e9 du Colorado a restitu\u00e9 le t\u00e9lescope de Bunyan \u00e0 la Berthoud Historical Society en 1998 et une r\u00e9plique fonctionnelle de l'observatoire a \u00e9t\u00e9 construite en 2003-2004.<\/p>
