Megamind Observatory

Maya prophesied that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world. On this day, some people were anxious and afraid of not seeing the sun the next day. More people held a playful attitude and celebrated with their loved ones in the early morning night, waiting for dawn to celebrate their safe passage through the end. The next day, the sun rose as usual, and people only thought that God was joking with everyone, working and living as usual. But they were too happy too early. The end has already quietly arrived, but they have been adapted to the harsh environment, unable to see the green mountains turn into yellow soil, and flowers and birds disappear; Unable to see the clear river turning into a foul smelling canal, fish and shrimp are dying; Unable to see grassland turning into desert, land howling According to the Observatory, there was a once-in-a-millennium meteor shower in the early morning of December 21, 2020. Many places can be seen with the naked eye, with young men and women rushing to tell each other, eagerly anticipating this romantic meteor shower. At midnight, the long-awaited miracle finally appeared. The moon, which had been hard to see for a long time, descended like a silver plate, clear and bright, right in front of me But then people were extremely frightened. According to the lunar calendar, this day is the Winter Solstice Festival on the seventh day of the winter lunar month. How could there be a full moon This is a beautiful miracle It's still the beginning of the nightmare

There's a secret in the vault at the Observatory. When Linua overhears the other teenagers discussing a plot, little does she realise that this will lead to the discovery of a decades-old crime, and the uncovering of an ancient mystery... This is a slow burn story, with character development, emotional progression, and a little bit of slice of life. New chapters will be released on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The United Stars of Gaia, an advanced space faring human civilization comes across a fantasy like planet in their journey to explore the star. This is the first time mankind had ever come across an alien civilization. An observatory orbital station was built to study the primitive civilization without exposing themselves to the local population. After half an Earth year of observation the station got a visit from an official and his escort fleets. But while the transport ships were in the process of docking with the station, something went wrong. *...THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. ALL PERSONEL ARE TO EVACUATE THE ORBITAL PLATFORM AND HEAD FOR THE NEAREST ESCAPE PODS. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. ALL PERSONEL...* "What's going on? where's the head scientist?" "Sir , that would be me. Something went wrong with the gravity anchor and the station is falling, fast." "Can we do something about it?" "Sir please evacuate. We tried our best but the station is beyond saving now. We will be descending onto the atmosphere" And with that, a story of an advance interstellar civilization interacting with their first magical alien civilization begins, along with all of their mysteries and secrets.

Regia looked around the large room. It was a huge paradox of what she was used to. It had a large vanity embroidered with silver and marble and a grand styled decor. She moved closer to the large bed in the centre of the room. Its sheets had been rolled back invitingly and it was an invite that she couldn't resist. She crawled on the bed and laid on its soft sheets, adoring its feeling against her skin. She didn't know when or how she fell asleep afterwards. A hand slowly tapped her and she fluttered her eyes open. The duke of Albania stood observing her,his hands pulled to his back. She sat up with a start and quickly got of the bed. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her he was the man she had been waiting for. She curtsied with as much grace as she owned and greeted him. "Good afternoon sire". He frowned at her which made her breath hitch. " Good afternoon?, girl it is evening already",he remarked quite harshly. Her eyes widened and she turned to look out the window. She didn't know she had slept that long. The room was lit by an array of gorgeous lantern in the wall. She bowed slightly,tendering her apology. He let out a low scoff before asking, "Is this what you want to wear to sleep?", he asked causing her to look at her gown. She was still wearing the gown she wore after the change. She had been waiting for him so that they could go and eat together but it seemed like he wasn't interested in food at the moment. She watched him head to her bed to sit. He sat and frowned again seeing her stand in the same position. " Well,won't you change to your night gown",he said breaking into her thought. She quickly regained her composure, bowed tendering her apology, and dashed to her observatory veiled with long decorated satin curtains. She saw her night shift already folded and carefully placed on a table beside her bathtub. She quickly slipped out of the heavy clothe she was laden with and wore the white,transparent gown reserved for her. She swallowed as she observed herself in the standing mirror placed in the observatory. The clothe clung to her in all the right places and it perfectly matched her skin. She knew that whoever placed it there had an eye for beauty. She held her breath as she tried to get her thoughts composed. She muttered encouraging words to herself as she sought to return to the Duke. She had already kept him waiting for far too long. She walked in careful strides as she pulled back the curtain and walked towards the bed. The Duke was lying down on the bed now, facing the ceiling. She stopped a few inches afar and called out. "Sire, I am now changed". She waited for a response for a few seconds and on not getting any repeated her statement. He still didn't respond causing her to furrow her brows. She wondered if he fell asleep in his wait. She walked over to him and tapped him gently. He still didn't make a move and his eyes were closed. She trailed his hands to under the sheets. He was unusually quiet and she wasn't even sure she could hear him breathe. She put her hand under the sheets and drew out his hands. What she saw next caused her to shriek in fear. She saw that his hands was covered in his own blood. She pulled the sheets down completely and saw that he had been stabbed by a knife,laying in a pool of his own blood. She fell back in fear,feeling a sinking feeling rise in her chest as her breathing became uneven in panic. She wanted to ran out to call for help but her body refuses to move,reminding her if the implication of her action if she did so. She had nowhere to run or who to talk to that would believe her. She shook her head vehemently,running her hands roughly through her hair. She steeled herself with a new resolution, reminding herself that crying or panic would solve nothing. She stood up and quickly calculated her next line of action. She decided to leave the building and the town as a whole,knowing that her very life was on the line.

Library A sand storm made a huge 400-floor library sank beneath the sand. At times a tall tower can be seen sticking out of the sand. Wolves bring information from across the world and it's overseen by a spirit of an owl. The library has a huge ancient observatory and it has a huge telescope looking at the stars. In certain parts of the Library, trees have grown. There are places filled with snow, sand, mos and one room is filled with a huge forest. There are doors that cant be opened others remain untouched for centuries. There are doors that open with elementals. There are parts that are unsearchable because the floor fell in and the stairs are broken. There is always music playing in the music room.  There is an extremely huge card catalog. There are rooms where the books lay on the floor. The paint is coming off the walls and some of the windows are broken.

Ahmed currently works at the Carl Sagan Radio Observatory as a graduate student, but he used to work for his family, casually spying on his relatives and manipulating them using implausibly well-planned "scenarios." His family is gigantic—old money—with bizarre traditions meant to encourage competence in clandestine affairs as well as being insanely resourceful. One of his favorite hobbies is "people watching," which gives him the chance to use his skills and surplus equipment for fun. Normal people watching involves sitting someplace public and watching people as they walk by. Ahmed, on the other hand, hides high-tech cameras and covert listening devices in public places, thus allowing him to do this remotely, which is pretty much the same thing, right? His methods, despite being strange and mildly invasive, ultimately adds a degree of efficiency and convenience to his seemingly mundane hobby. Shinjiro and Kit are best friends and students at Zephyrus University. Kit is straight and has a girlfriend, while the openly-gay Shinjiro has a crush on him. It's a secret that Shinjiro has kept for a long time because to reveal it would be worse than pointless. Crushing on your straight best friend rarely ends well, but based on his observations, Ahmed thinks that Kit might not be as straight as he thinks he is. Shinjiro and Kit do not know Ahmed, but he knows them! For Ahmed, this is the perfect chance to meddle in the private matters of others for both fun and profit! After some preparation and careful planning, Ahmed approaches a despondent Shinjiro with an offer to help him resolve his situation, once and for all. In return, Ahmed will get to experiment on the both of them while unobtrusively recording and documenting everything for the purposes of writing a book. At least, that's what he tells Shinjiro. It is plainly evident to all those involved that Ahmed has additional ulterior motives. However, he has so many ulterior motives that isn't clear if he actually has any motives that aren't ulterior.

Universal observatory profiles, an organisation somehow peeking into different universes and profiling it for some reason.

Fang Yuan traveled through a parallel world and inherited the private high school founded by his late grandfather, Yun Ding High School. Due to its consistent ranking as the worst high school in Jingcheng City throughout the year, its qualification to be allowed to run as a school would soon be canceled. Fortunately, for Fang Yuan, the universe activated the Strongest Principal System. As long as the school gained prestige, it could establish buildings, summon famous talents, and redeem various God-level rewards. From the founding of the main teaching building to improving the efficiency of learning; constructing a library, improving overall intelligence, constructing a well-equipped hospital as well as ensuring health and safety standards are followed...the Strongest Principal System made everything possible. In addition, the System provided a concert hall, art gallery, a lake garden, an observatory, a cafeteria with five-star cuisine as well. However, this was not all, the System even allowed Fang Yuan to summon world-famous talents from parallel worlds to teach his students. He could summon Shakespeare to teach Literature, Gauss to teach Mathematics, Einstein for Physics, Curie for Chemistry, Darwin for Biology, and Nightingale for medicine. He could also summon Beethoven to teach music, Van Gogh for art, Spielberg for film, and Messi for football! Thus, a formidable high school that would shock the world was born. Students would go forth to win Nobel Prizes, Olympic Medals and break world records in all the manner of categories. Countless Hollywood celebrities and Silicon Valley geniuses would be produced by the school. “Bitcoin? Oh, you mean our IT Department teacher, Satoshi Nakamoto’s little experiment?” Even students from prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford would cry about wanting to attend Yun Ding High School.

We know the universe is expanding, and we have a pretty good idea of how fast it’s expanding, but we don’t know the rate exactly. That’s because of the different methods we have to measure the rate of cosmic expansion keep giving us slightly different results. It’s a nagging problem that bugs astronomers, so while they have worked to ensure current methods are accurate, they have also looked to new ways to measure cosmic expansion. One of these new ways involves gravitational waves. Gravitational wave observatories such as Virgo and LIGO have gotten pretty good at detecting the mergers of binary black holes. They’ve observed nearly a hundred mergers, and from each merger, astronomers can calculate things such as the mass and rotation of each black hole. What’s more difficult to determine is how distant the mergers were.
