Petsamo, Tampere
Petsamo is a district of Tampere, Finland. The district is named after the Pechengsky ( fi, Petsamo), which Finland was acquired in connection with the Treaty of Tartu. At the same time as Soviet Russia ceded Pechengsky to Finland in 1920, some large Tamperean industrial plants began to build a residential area for their working population on the northeast corner of the city. When the area seemed to be far from the center, the informal name of the district was born as a result of the image. The neighboring parts of Petsamo are Kauppi, Kaleva, Liisankallio, Tammela, Osmonmäki, Lappi and Lapinniemi. Petsamo is bordered on the north by Kauppi, on the east by Kauppi and Kaleva, on the south by the Ilmarinkatu street and in the west by Tammela.

Astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geophysical, oceanography and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed.

Astronomical observatories Astronomical observatories are mainly divided into four categories: space-based, airborne, ground-based, and underground-based. Ground-based observatories Ground-based observatories, located on the surface of Earth, are used to make observations in the radio and visible light portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
