El Observatorio Astrofísico Smithsoniano (SAO, según sus siglas en inglés) es una institución de investigación del instituto smithsoniano que tiene su sede en Cambridge, Massachusetts. Trabaja junto al observatorio Harvard College (HCO), formando el centro de astrofísica Harvard-Smithsonian (CfA).
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), founded in 1890, is a research center of the Smithsonian Institution with the mission to advance our knowledge and understanding of the universe through research and education in astronomy and astrophysics. Affiliated with the Harvard College Observatory, SAO created the world’s first ...
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) was established in 1890 as research unit of the Smithsonian Institution concentrating on studies of solar radiance. Sixty-five years later, SAO assumed responsibility for establishing an optical network for tracking the first artificial satellites.
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is a research institute of the Smithsonian Institution, concentrating on astrophysical studies including galactic and extragalactic astronomy, cosmology, solar, earth and planetary sciences, theory and instrumentation, using observations at wavelengths from the highest energy gamma rays ...

Exoplanets—In the past three decades, astronomers have detected more than 5,000 planets in over 4,000 planetary systems outside Earth’s solar system. SAO scientists use ground-based and space-based instruments to detect and characterize these exoplanets. SAO has a major role in NASA’s TESS mission to search for habitable Earth-like planets and in u...
SAO has contributed to the development and operation of many observatories around the world, observing cosmic objects and events by detecting radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from low-energy radio submillimeter and X-ray waves, to light waves and high-energy gamma rays. Chandra X-ray Observatory—NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, opera...
Submillimeter Array—The submillimeter array in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, the first of its kind in the world, was dedicated in November 2003. The SMA is designed to study star and galaxy formation, and it is a critical element of the Event Horizon Telescope, a global network of telescopes whose primary goals include producing the first images of supermassi...
