Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Royal Observatory, Greenwich (ROG; known as the Old Royal Observatory from 1957 to 1998, when the working Royal Greenwich Observatory, RGO, temporarily moved south from Greenwich to Herstmonceux) is an observatory situated on a hill in Greenwich Park in south east London, overlooking the River Thames to the north. It played a major role in the history of astronomy and navigation, and because the Prime Meridian passed through it, it gave its name to Greenwich Mean Time, the precursor to today's Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The ROG has the IAU observatory code of 000, the first in the list. ROG, the National Maritime Museum, the Queen's House and the clipper ship Cutty Sark are collectively designated Royal Museums Greenwich.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

L'Observatoire royal de Greenwich (en anglais Royal Observatory, Greenwich abrégé par le sigle ROG ; anciennement Royal Greenwich Observatory ou RGO) est un observatoire astronomique britannique situé dans Greenwich Park, dans la banlieue est de Londres, en surplomb de la Tamise qui traverse la ville.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Das Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO; deutsch Königliches Observatorium von Greenwich), das als Arbeitsplatz für den Astronomer Royal, den königlichen Hofastronomen, erbaut wurde, lag ursprünglich auf einem Hügel im Greenwich Park in Greenwich, London, von wo aus man die Themse sehen kann. Das Observatorium, genaugenommen der Mittelpunkt des Teleskops im Observatorium, wurde als Bezug für die Festlegung des Nullmeridians (Meridian von Greenwich) und somit der Längengrade, wie auch die Greenwich Mean Time (mittlere Ortszeit am Greenwich-Meridian), genutzt. Er wird im Innenhof als horizontale Meridianlinie durch einen Messingstreifen markiert. Seit dem 16. Dezember 1999 beleuchtet die Linie ein starker grüner Laser, der nach Norden durch London und Essex in der Nacht leuchtet.
