Name of the observatory

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The name of the observatory is still listed as Hermanus Magnetic Observatory at the INTERMAGNET's List of IMOs and Responsible GINs. Requesting citation for this redirect. Thanks. Trilotat (talk) 15:52, 9 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

There are a couple of references:
"...and the Space Science programme (former Hermanus Magnetic Observatory, located in Hermanus)" [1]
"...Kobus Olckers, a former space weather officer at the centre (when it was the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory, before it became part of Sansa in 2010)" [2]
Even INTERMAGNET seems somewhat unsure about the name in their minutes "...presented an overview of the 80 - year history of the Hermanus magnetic observatory/SANSA Space Science Division" [3]
Though this may contradict and indicate that the observatory was not renamed, just integrated into SANSA
"Today Hermanus Magnetic Observatory forms part of the South African National Space Agency (SANSA)..." [4]
This is Africa, name changes are not always followed through. INTERMAGNET's list may be the more reliable source and the redirect may need to be reversed. --NJR_ZA (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
