The '''Comet Observatory''' (also called the '''Observatory Grounds''' or just the '''Observatory''' by ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''{{'}}s pause menus) is one of the many areas from ''Super Mario Galaxy''. It acts as the hub area, similar to [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' or [[Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The Comet Observatory is a space station controlled by [[Rosalina]], and it acts as the home of both her and the [[Luma]]s, as well as a single [[Gearmo]].

It was built by Rosalina and [[Baby Luma|Luma]] after Rosalina agreed to take care of him. Over time, it grew to be too big for just the two of them. Soon, other Lumas came to live in the Comet Observatory as well, and Luma transformed into the [[Beacon]] that powers the Observatory.
 
The Comet Observatory normally comes into orbit around the [[Earth]] every 100 years, and during that time, the people of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] celebrate the [[Star Festival]], thinking that the observatory is simply a comet. During the most recent Star Festival however, [[Bowser]]'s forces attacked the Comet Observatory, causing it to lose its power source: [[Grand Star]]s and [[Power Star]]s. They were scattered throughout the cosmos following the attack, causing the Comet Observatory to remain immobilized above the Mushroom Kingdom. He later attacked [[Toad Town]] during their celebrations. Only after [[Mario]] recovers five out of seven Grand Stars can the Observatory fly like a starship again. When this has been accomplished, Rosalina takes Mario (or [[Luigi]]) to the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|Center of the Universe]] to rescue [[Princess Peach]].

The Comet Observatory can be accessed through a portal in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Throughout the game, there are plenty of characters residing here, including Mario, Rosalina, the Lumas, Luigi, and the Toad Brigade. Much like [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' or [[Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', certain parts of the observatory are unlocked as [[Mario]] gradually acquires [[Grand Star]]s and [[Power Star]]s. This is because the Grand Stars are used to power the large Beacon in the middle of the Comet Observatory, which enables it to transform into a comet and fly across the cosmos. Once five Grand Stars have been acquired, the observatory will have enough power to travel toward the center of the universe. After six Grand Stars have been obtained while the total Stars obtained is less than 60, [[Polari]] says that the beacon is the brightest that it can be.

There are six [[dome]]s located throughout the Comet Observatory, which act as Mario's means of accessing all of the galaxies that he will encounter in the game. In order, the domes are the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]], the [[Fountain]], the [[Kitchen (Super Mario Galaxy)|Kitchen]], the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]], the [[Engine Room]], and the [[Garden (Super Mario Galaxy)|Garden]]. Galaxies are accessed by collecting multiple [[Power Star]]s to unlock more and more domes. Additional Galaxies can be unlocked by feeding the seven [[Hungry Luma]]s that appear outside each dome (and the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]]). According to the Lumas, the domes are used to view the cosmos. Other areas in the Observatory are the [[Garage (Super Mario Galaxy)|Garage]], the [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|Library]], and the Gate.

After [[Bowser]]'s giant sun collapses into a massive [[black hole]] following his defeat by [[Mario]] in the final battle, the Comet Observatory is pulled towards the black hole. Parts of the observatory are broken off and scattered as [[Peach's Castle]] crashes into the side of it. However, the Lumas all sacrifice themselves by jumping into the black hole, creating a large explosion and reforming the entire cosmos. It can also be inferred that this explosion reformed the Comet Observatory, as it is seen intact in the ending sequence after collecting 120 Power Stars and defeating Bowser a second time. Rosalina transforms it into a comet once again and then flies off to parts unknown.

As the game progresses, the waltz-like theme that plays in this area gains more instruments, though the [[Gateway Galaxy]] theme plays instead before the player completes the first mission. If Mario or Luigi try to jump off the Comet Observatory, they will be enveloped in an energy-like bubble and return to safe ground. After completing [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] for the first time, a countdown will appear on the tiles underneath Rosalina (talking to her again from that point on will result in her asking if the player wants to complete that level again) showing how many Power Stars are still left to be collected. When all of the stars are finally collected, fulfilling 100% completion, then the countdown will read zero and it will be possible to access "another world" and play as Luigi (first playthrough as Mario) or access [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] (second playthrough as Luigi).

The Comet Observatory is absent from most of the game, while its role as a hub level is now filled by [[Starship Mario]]. Once Mario has obtained enough Power Stars to access [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]], he, Luma, and [[Lubba]] witness from the starship a large comet being drawn into Bowser's fortress. This comet resembles the observatory as it was seen flying in the previous game, and Luma's despairing reaction to seeing it heavily implies that they are the one and the same. Lubba speculates that Bowser must be seeking to become even larger, indicating he had been trying to steal power from the observatory and at the same time keep it from aiding Mario on his journey.

Once Mario has defeated Bowser for the final time and returned to Starship Mario with Peach, the two watch as the Comet Observatory flies up to them and Rosalina appears from inside, seeking to finally reunite with her lost Baby Luma. After thanking Mario for his help, Baby Luma takes his hat as a souvenir, so that he may never forget the adventures they went on, before departing in the observatory with his mother.

The final planet of the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], where Mario encounters Rosalina once more later on, also resembles the Comet Observatory's [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]].

A structure that strongly resembles the Comet Observatory appears on the side of the [[Rosalina's Ice World]] course. Instead of being a peach color with purple outlining, it appears in an aqua color, but still includes the stars on the side of the observatory, hinting that this is the Comet Observatory. However, it serves only as a part of the course's background.

Instead of featuring a peach tent with purple outlining, it appears in an aqua color, but still includes the stars on the side of the observatory. It lacks any domes and most structures besides the beacon and the main tent, but in ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it sits on top of a large circular brick platform.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When Rosalina transforms the Comet Observatory into a comet, all of the Warp Pads are missing.
*The Comet Observatory theme plays in part of the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] mission "The Perfect Run", along with the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] theme, the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] theme, and the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] theme. Also, the final planet of the Prankster Comet mission in this galaxy is almost an exact replica of the Gate.
*When the player first unlocks the observatory, the ceiling and sloped circular floor where the beacon is are a dark shade of purple on the inner parts with magenta on the outer parts; however, if the player enters the Terrace or saves and exits to the title screen, then returns to the observatory, the dark purple turns to an off-white color.
*It is impossible for the player to lose a [[Extra life|life]] on the Comet Observatory, as [[jump]]ing or falling off the side of it causes Mario or Luigi to be enveloped in an energy-like bubble and return to safe ground.
*After completing Bowser's Galaxy Reactor for the first time, a countdown will appear on the tiles underneath Rosalina (talking to her again from that point on will result in her asking if the player wants to complete that level again) showing how many Power Stars are still left to be collected. When all of the stars are finally collected, fulfilling 100% completion, then the countdown will read zero and it will be possible to play as Luigi.
*The Comet Observatory was actually created very late in <i>Super Mario Galaxy</i>'s development; originally, Starship Mario was planned as the hub level, but it was ultimately not used until the sequel.{{refneeded}}
*In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the Comet Observatory theme is the song that plays for [[World Crown]].
*An arrangement of the music can be heard when Rosalina's [[amiibo]] is being controlled in amiibo Party in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''.
*A remix of the Comet Observatory theme appears as one of the selectable songs in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''.
