Seeing stars in Iraq: Restoring wrecked observatory may boost Iraqi science

Article Abstract:

An incomplete observatory atop Mount Korek in Iraq's Kurdistan Autonomous Region stands testimony to ravages of the Iran War and the Persian Gulf War. The Kurdistan region could couple the observatory to a proposed center for astrophysics and space science at Salahaddin University in Erbil, which would most likely draw astronomers from throughout the area and function as a regional scientific facility.
