Advisory:

* Guests visiting this part of our Cloud City should understand that the observatory is the very top room of the tallest spire of Cloud City; that spire is as tall as the Burj Khalifa (it is a 1/2-mile tall building), but has its base 5.75 miles higher up in the air than the Burj which is at sea level.  Years of acclimation to the thin atmospheres at the altitudes of the summits of the Earth‘s tallest mountains is absolutely essential prior to venturing this high up in our realm.  Immortal, invincible, and superhuman beings need not worry, of course, but everyone else should exercise caution, patience, and restraint before coming here.

Greatest Terrestrial Vantage:

The greatest place for astronomical observation on Earth is Antarctica; the atmosphere is thinnest, the climate coldest, the direct light at its lowest, and this makes the air so cold, still, and clear that the stars no longer twinkle.  Observing Outer Space from the calm inlands of this continent couldn’t be better.  Being Inisfreeans, though, we naturally took it to the next level; our city’s main observatory is on top of the tallest building built upon an airship kept four miles above Inisfree’s ground-level (the same level as being atop the 2.2 miles of vertical ice covering Antarctica) and six miles above sea-level.  This is a full mile higher than the summit of Mt. Everest, above and free from all of Inisfree’s clouds, and about in the same altitude bracket as cruising commercial airliners, making the astronomical observation better than any of the land-based, human-built observatories elsewhere on Antarctica.  This makes our observatory an airborne one, and with our advanced Repulsine technology, it never experiences turbulence, and is much sturdier and ‘quake free than any observatory built on the ground.

Dark Time:

People compete for “Dark Time” at other telescopes; that’s when the Moon is new or not up, thus it affords the best astronomical observation, so Dark Time is highly sought after, and people compete for time using the world’s biggest/greatest telescopes/observatories during all forecast Dark Times.  We put ours (Inisfree’s observatory) on top of our ‘moon’, and the actual Moon of the Earth is barely even visible for many months each year from our Antarctic position; it stays well below the horizon, just like the Sun does when our continent is ’tilted’ away.  We went another step further and farther, though; our telescope has a portal feature that allows you to observe things way beyond its lens, even if you aren’t pointed at them, and even if it is a bright sunny day out (so there is no competition for Dark Time here, though it is still fun to view things during it).  We have even tested it by opening that portal inside stars, allowing us to see into other times, other galaxies, etc. –and it never hurts the eyes; our filters are just that good, and eyes in Inisfree become invincible, just like the rest of you.

Inspiration:

In the film Thor, the observatory of Asgard doubles as a semi-teleporter, semi-warp-drive, accelerating its travelers to and from any point in their nine known realms.  This observatory of theirs is also extremely luxurious, almost entirely golden, and impressive even for the gods of olde to walk in and gaze upon.  Inisfree combined this design with those of the human observatories, resulting in an impressive capstone and crowning jewel sitting atop the highest spire of its floating Cloud City.  Now it will serve as further inspiration to others.

Access:

Whether stargazing or being accelerated to warp and relative-FTL speeds via this facility, all one needs do is request clearance and accompaniment by any of Inisfree’s Master Females, each of which functions as an air-traffic controller equivalent within the realm of the Inisfreeans, and is an authorized representative of the Governor‘s will at all times.

To travel somewhere, simply use your thoughts to aim and focus the telescope, then activate the worm-hole beam and step through!  It’s as simple as ‘point and click’.  Whatever you are looking at, that is where you will go.​​

Novels Excerpt:

Stargazing from Inisfree was sensational, as the city was uniquely positioned on the Earth; built within and above an Antarctic mountain, its tallest buildings were the highest in the world, and they had views up through the thinnest part of the planet’s atmosphere. They were so high up on that continent, and the air was so thin, the night so clear, in fact, that the stars didn’t even twinkle; there was almost no atmospheric distortion. Auz and a few of his Inisfreeans showed the guests at the Cloud City observatory (the top of its central and tallest spire) how to look out through its sophisticated telescopes to see as far out across the Universe as they wanted.

A system of portals and Webway access allowed the guests in that observatory to even look around stars and their galaxies. When gravitational lensing was an issue, they simply opened a portal all the way out there on the other side of the area whose light was being distorted on its way to Earth. This also meant they could see what was going on out there in “real time”; they weren’t looking at light that had traveled for generations or millennia, as the human astronomers were limited to.

After entering memorized coordinates for a few of his favorite cosmic bodies, such as nebulae, magnetars, and mysterious dark-matter zones, he excused himself and let the Inisfreeans there take care of the observers for the rest of the evening. They were in good hands. Auz returned to his home miles below, high on Inisfree’s mountain.

2021 Discovery:

By looking not just at the stars, but into them, we are able to see into the dimension some humans call Heaven (though they do not know it is the shared core of all the stars).  By using our observatory’s portal-based viewing ability/feature, we are also able to look out from the inside of stars.  Stars are not just anchors of space/Space and gravity; they are also Sphere Beings whose nature it is to connect different points in time, thus to move to and through them, and even when we just look out from within them, we are able to see how our solar system (and any other, as long as it is orbiting a star connected to the one we have opened a portal in to look out from) …looked at different times.

This December, we used our observatory to confirm that the worlds were, in fact, much closer to the Earth in a previous Age… and that the first gas-giant was born when part of the Earth’s atmosphere separated… and that the whole bigger atmosphere back then was not moved away due to mindless gravitational changes, but because it was alive, as in:  it was a collective/civilization of Elementals.

At the start of next year, we’ll begin using this special telescope/observatory of ours… to look inside some of the planets, too –including ‘up’ into our own (as we Inisfreeans think of our planet’s core as being up, not down; to us, the Abyss known as Space… is ‘down’).  What will we see when we use it to peer not only into the Earth’s hollow core, but into it during previous eras?  Then… what will we see when we peer into its small central star (i.e. out from the inside of that star… into whichever other worlds’ hollow cores it may connect to)?

Stay tuned.

2023/+ Concepts:

You may have heard that some supernovae appear more than once, in different locations, due to gravity lensing around galaxies and such.  This may be why there seem to be some vast dark/empty regions in Space; light that comes from them may be pulled/bent away by the time it reaches us.  In other words, they aren’t really there; what we perceive as their empty spots/regions are just an illusion.
Relevant special feature of this observatory of ours:  When you look through the telescope/s here, it shows how things are actually positioned throughout Space/Hell/Abyss; it undoes the gravity-lensing that Outlander-humans see when they look up at their night sky.

…

2024 March:  Humans keep discovering stars and galaxies that do not make sense in the standard model (Big Bang, star formation, galaxy ages for development, red-shift indicators, etc.) because they are stimulating the ether (Space/void) without decision, only “let’s see what else might be there” which always boils down to “create more random things”.
They fail to come up with a model that explains all they are seeing out there… because they have not yet factored in the possibility that their thoughts and vibes are stimulating that medium/realm… regardless of the assumed cosmic distances between them and those objects.
When we here look out at the stars, it isn’t to see what is there, but to instantly re/stabilize them, which our essence/looking/nature always automatically does –though many of them don’t need it, humans now so completely magically controlled/regulated.
