KU Observatory The K.U. Observatory or Karachi University Observatory is located in the campus area of Karachi University. The KU space observatory is operated by the Institute of Space and Planetary Astrophysics and stands majestically atop a hill and surprisingly, was built to last. The space observatory was last built in 1995 as a part of Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The KU Observatory can resist all seismological challenges as its pillars go 15 feet deep into the ground. The telescope has a motor that keeps pace with the movement of the earth making any object under view always visible without any readjustments.
