'''Zanmalaté Observatory''' is a building in [[Ruviyatang]], [[Rauratoshan]]. It was the first building constructed in the town of Ruviyatang. Construction started in December 2024, but was not complete until January 2025.

==Etymology==
The title "Zanmalaté" literally means "future's hand". The observatory was named this because "with this building, we can reach out for the hand of the future."

==Telescope characteristics==
While in Minecraft, the observatory's telescope does not function, the observatory's telescope is shown to rotate and focus, much like real ground-based telescopes, in artwork. The observatory's telescope has an aperture of 3.6m, comparable to Mauna Kea's {{wp|Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope}} (in-game, this is displayed as a 3x4 chunk of amethyst).

==Scientific study==
The Zanmalaté Observatory was originally constructed by the [[Madness Multiverse Missionary]], and is currently managed by the [[Rauratoshan Royal Academy]]. The academy issues a fee of {{musan}}48 per 10-minutes (1 Minecraft night) for use of the observatory. Owing to constant use when weather is not inclement, the observatory makes about {{musan}}1,136,064 ([[Petrified Oak Slab|₧5;03;53.20]]) from this activity every year.
