This guided tour explores the Federal Observatory, one of ETH Zurich's oldest research buildings constructed in the 1860s. Visitors see the historic dome used for observing sunspots in the 19th century and the solar tower that studied the sun's outer atmosphere from 1951 to 1980. Semper's architectural landmark stands near ETH's main building and is designed to be accessible for visually impaired visitors.
