The Astral Observatory a building outside the walls of [[Clock Town]] in [[Termina Field]] in {{MM}}. It is home to a giant [[Telescope]], which is able to view the landscape of [[Termina]], and also serves as the hideout of the [[Bombers Secret Society of Justice|Bombers]].<ref>{{Cite|We Bombers have our hideout at the observatory.|Bombers Secret Society of Justice|MM}}</ref> Although the Observatory is located in [[Termina Field]], the building is entirely fenced in, preventing entry through normal means outside. It is possible to enter the Astral Observatory by either reciting the Bombers code to the Bomber in [[East Clock Town]], or by flying in with a [[Deku Flower]]. | |||

The password is acquired by popping the [[Balloon]] in [[North Clock Town]], talking to [[Jim]], finding every member of the Bombers hidden throughout Town, and proceeding to recite the code to the Bomber guarding the passageway. Link can also use a [[Deku Flower]] in Termina Field to enter the Astral Observatory's dome. | ||

Link can | Beyond the sewer segment of the Astral Observatory, Link can meet the famous dancing [[Scarecrow]], [[Pierre]]. Upstairs, the hero will find the astronomer named [[Professor Shikashi]] with the huge Telescope overlooking Termina Field.<ref>{{Cite|Are you here to do something for me? I am Shikashi, professor of astronomy!|Professor Shikashi|MM}}</ref> There is a [[Moon's Tear]] encased in a glass next to the Telescope, and upon checking it, Professor Shikashi comments on how he finds the stones falling from the [[Moon (Object)|Moon]]'s eyes, and how they have been falling recently.<ref>{{Cite|That is one of the lunar rocks that has been blazing from the surface of the moon lately. They fall from what looks to be the moon's eye, so I call them {{Color|MM3D Red|Moon's Tears}}. They are rare stones, valued by many in town.|Professor Shikashi|MM3D}}</ref> By using the Telescope to gaze at the [[Skull Kid]] atop the [[Clock Tower]], Link can obtain his own Moon's Tear, which is required to start the "[[Business Scrub Scramble]]" [[Event]]. Through the Telescope, Link can also see two men waving at him, signifying the presence of [[Grotto]]es in the ground that he can venture into. The [[Part-Timer]] can also be seen in a [[Tree]], trying to grab two [[Red Rupee]]s. By watching the walls over [[South Clock Town]], Link can spot a [[Business Scrub]] flying into a Grotto, initiating the "[[Follow That Scrub!]]" Event. | ||
Link can find a [[Treasure Chest]] containing a [[Silver Rupee]] behind a bombable wall near the sewer-side entrance of the Astral Observatory. | |||

The Astral Observatory is the chamber in which | The {{Term|BotW|Astral Observatory}} is the chamber in which {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}} is fought in {{BotW}}. It is a hollow, hemispherical chamber made from the {{Plural|BotW|Sheikah|link}} {{Term|BotW|Ancient Technology|link}}, situated far beneath the {{Term|BotW|Sanctum|link}}. Scattered on the floor near the walls of the {{Term|BotW|Astral Observatory}} are various {{Plural|BotW|Item|link}}, all of which can assist {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} in the fight against {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}. | ||

If {{Term|BotW|Link}} has freed any of the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast|link}} from {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}'s control, the {{Plural|BotW|Champions|link}} piloting them will launch their attacks on {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle (Dungeon)|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Now my moment has finally come.

The damage dealt from each {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}} is measured in increments of 12.5%, with all four {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} inflicting enough damage to remove 50% of {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}'s total health. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} has not freed any {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}}, the battle will begin with {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}} at full health. Upon defeating {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}, he will shed his mortal form and escape from the {{Term|BotW|Astral Observatory}} to {{Term|BotW|Windvane Meadow|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Field|link}}. Following suit, {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|link}} will transport {{Term|BotW|Link}} to {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|display=Ganon}}'s location, where she explains that he has assumed his most true and basic form as the very embodiment of his rage, {{Term|BotW|Dark Beast Ganon|link}}, in a final attempt to destroy {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|... Ganon...}} Ganon... Ganon was born out of a dark past. He is a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again...
