| 500 | _aThe Manila Observatory along Calle del Observatorio (now Padre Faura Street). It was established by the Jesuits in 1865 and became the country's official weather bureau in 1901. It housed the famous 18-inch refracting telescope ordered from Mertz factory in Germany and about 254 scientific papers by Father Manuel Selga. Unfortunately, these were all destroyed in the battle of Manila in 1945. A new observatory now stands within the Ateneo de Manila campus in Loyola Heights, Quezon City. | ||
