Yerkes Observatory, which calls itself "the birthplace of modern astrophysics", is an astronomical observatory operated by the University of Chicago. It was created in 1897 by George Ellery Hale and financed by Charles T. Yerkes. The observatory represented a shift in the thinking of observatories, from mere housing for a telescope and observer, to the modern concept of observation equipment integrated with laboratory space for physics and chemistry.
